You can move only one of the shapes in a group of shapes in Excel 2007 and in PowerPoint 2007

You group some shapes in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 or in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007. When you select the group and then try to move the group, only one of the shapes in the group of shapes moves.

This behavior is a design change in Excel 2007 and in PowerPoint 2007. The behavior occurs when you click a shape that is contained in a group of shapes that you have already selected. When you click a shape that is contained in a selected group, the shape is also selected. When you move the selected shape, the shape moves inside the selected group. The other shapes in the selected group do not move.

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

�	Do not click a shape after the group is selected. Instead, press and hold the mouse button to select the group and then drag the selected group to the new location.
�	Click the shape to select the group of shapes. Then, drag the edge of the selected group to the new location.

In earlier versions of Excel and of PowerPoint, this behavior is different. When you click and then move a shape that is contained in a selected group, the whole group moves to the new location. To move a single shape in the group to a new location inside the group, you must ungroup the shapes and then move the shape.

In Excel 2007 and in PowerPoint 2007, you do not have to ungroup the shapes to move a shape to a new location inside the group. To move a shape to a new location inside the group, click the shape to select the group. Then, click the shape again to select the shape. You can now move the selected shape to a new location inside the group.
