Moving Images during presentation

[Guest]

I teach in a middle school and I would like to know if I can make my
presenation interactive enough that students can move text (wordart) and/or
images around a ppt presentation while viewing the slideshow. For example:
A blank food pyramid on the slide. The goal is for the students to move the
pictures of fruit & veggies inside the pyramid to their proper location
(picture the old food pyramid). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Not natively but I suppose with a good deal of VBA code it could be done.
How are your coding skills?

As Austin pointed out, this requires coding. You might want to check out
some of the examples on my Web site.

The ones that are closest to what you want are under the More Tricks
section. Look for Trick 8, Drag and Drop, and Trick 5, Moving Example.

Trick 8 worked fantastic. I'm not much for editing the VBA myself, but I can
certantly import one someone else made! Thanks for the help!!
