Auto-select "relative to slide" when only one object selected

When only one oject in Powerpoint is selected ( e.g., Excel table) to be
centered on the slide, I use the Drawing toolbar at the bottom of the screen
to set the alignment by clicking on "Draw", then on "Align or Distribute". I
then need to select "Relative to slide" so that the centering option relative
to slide is not grayed out. I then need to go back through that menu process
to actually select my centering option. I would think that with only one
object selected Powerpoint should know that I am not seeking to set alignment
relative to other objects, but rather relative to the slide, and should
automatically make the "Relative to slide" options available. Thank you.

The PPTools Starter Set (free!) includes a tool that can turn this into a
one-click exercise. See the info on Place Exactly here:
