I was wondering if there is a way to keep the object at the back of a stack, even when dragging and dropping? I have basically made a little window on my slide and I want to move an image through the window without it appearing on top of the window when I click it.

To answer your questions: 1. If you right click on the file in explorer and check the 'Read only' box then PowerPoint won't let the file be saved and it will always open in it's original state. You will be asked if you want to save your changes to a new file, but at least you won't mess up your original by accident. 2. I don't know of any way to force the objects into or out of a particular area with PowerPoint. I you want that sort of functionality you will need to look at using flash or if appropriate a game creator such as <a href="http://classroomtech.org.uk/2008/08/create-interactive-games-activities-quizzes-with-contentgeneratornet/" rel="nofollow">contentgenerator.</a> I hope that helps<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('124','Tim Dolan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('124','Tim Dolan','I am glad the information about drag and drop is useful.\r\n\r\n\r\nTo answer your questions:\r\n1.

I would like a little more info. Here are two questions: 1. When closing the show you are asked to save changes. Can this option be turned off so taht the show always reverts to its original state? 2. Can you make the dragged objects only go to one particular area or be repelled if they are dragged to an "out of bounds" area? Many thanks for showing me how to do this simple game. Lots of fun!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('106','Jean Walsh'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('106','Jean Walsh','Many thanks!
