How can I lock the following shapes so that it becomes one??

oval fits into rectangle in middle for these two


oval extends half way into the rectangle.

thanks much for your help! Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Your images don't display. However, if you select two or more autoshapes, you can use the 'Group' option to link them so that, if copied or moved, their relationships remain constant.
