Most drawings in Word consist of more than one object. For example, you can layer text boxes or WordArt onto an AutoShape to create dramatic effects. But if you try to resize or move a layered drawing, you have to select each layered object, or you run the risk of having to reposition the layers. A quicker, more efficient method is to group the objects by following these steps:.
Press Shift as you click each object in your drawing. Right-click the selected objects and select Grouping, then Group. You can now click anywhere in your drawing and drag your mouse to move all objects at once. You can also use the sizing handles to resize them together. If you wish to make a change to one of the objects, right-click the group and select Grouping, then Ungroup. Once you make the change, you can group the objects together again simply by right-clicking any object in the drawing, and selecting Grouping, then Regroup.
