Group and ungroup objects

If you work with several objects and have to move them or apply shared formatting to them, you must select
these objects every time. Apply formal grouping, and you will be able to operate those objects quickly as a
unit.

To group several objects, select all objects you want to group by pressing Ctrl or
Shift and clicking every of these objects:

Then do one of the following:

• On the Shape Format tab, in the Arrange group, click the Group command:

• Right-click one of the objects and choose Group -> Group from the popup menu:

Word puts a single box around the objects instead of a separate box around each object:

To ungroup grouped objects, do one of the following:

• On the Format tab, in the Arrange group, click Ungroup:
• Right-click a grouped object, and then choose Group -> Ungroup from the popup menu:
