The first time you use this version of PowerPoint a security warning
window will open. Check ‘Always trust macros from this source’ and
‘Enable Macros’ to activate drag and drop. You will not need to do this
again on the same PC.
This is not a commercially produced and supported product
and is offered free to use for educational non-profit purposes;
please appreciate that this means it may be a little rough around the edges,
for example: it is ESSENTIAL to never delete or duplicate the first slide of a
‘drag and drop’ ppt file: this makes the file unusable. You can delete any
other slide and use Insert New Slide to add others but never duplicate
slides as this also makes the file unuseable.
In order to make your own ‘drag and drop’ PowerPoint slides simply make a
copy of this file or use File menu, Save As and save with a different name.
By making a copy you still have the original should anything go wrong.
So that the mouse can be used effectively to drag and drop objects, the
macro disables all of the slide advance and object animation features.
Hyperlinks may be used to link the slides in multi-slide activities, as in this

The RSC ‘drag and drop’ PowerPoint resource uses a macro from a trusted source that has been
certified with Microsoft. This means that it should work with PowerPoint 2000, 2002 (XP) and
2003. It may not work with previous versions and it is not possible to guarantee that they will
work with future versions of PowerPoint.
Please note that the RSC cannot provide technical support for the use of this feature.
To drag and drop an object: Point the mouse at something on the screen. If the cursor changes
to a pointing finger the object is ‘dragable’. Left click once and release the mouse button, move
the mouse and the object will drag, left click once again to drop the object.
To close the presentation without saving click the button at the bottom right of the screen.
To make any object into one that can be dragged and dropped anywhere:
Select the object, then select Slide Show menu, Action Settings, choose DragThis from the Run
Macro drop-down menu and click the Run Macro button.
There are three ways the drag and drop can be set up. These depend on an object’s alternative
text which is viewed by selecting the object, right clicking to display a menu then select
Format Autoshape (or Format textbox), Web tab and the text entered here changes behaviour:
1. Drop anywhere The object can be positioned anywhere if there is no alternative text at all.
2. Drop to target only The object will ‘snap’ to any other object with the same alternative text
(Drop1, Droptarget1 etc). The word isn’t important, any will do apart from NoOverlap. You can
have multiple drop targets on one slide. The shape will only move to the drop target, it can’t be
dropped anywhere else. Note that the drop target object cannot be a text box.
It can be a rectangle or oval shape. The ‘dragable’ object can be a text box.
3. NoOverlap Objects with this setting will not overlap each other (though they will overlap text
boxes). Note that in the case of non rectangular shapes the overlap is calculated from the
bounding rectangle defining the extent of the shape and not the visible shape.
Note:
To drag grouped shapes: group them, cut the group and use Edit menu, Paste Special
to paste the group as a Picture. Then apply the DragThis action setting macro to this.
