Excellent, thanks again John
I've also added in 'ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Top = cm2Points(7) - ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Width / 2'

If you are willing to help on the last bit (?) that would be amazing

I've got to place the group images inside a box (actually there are four boxes on my pages - 2 at top left and right, 2 at bottom left and right)...as the original sizes of the images can vary slightly,. the pages on the template (or the images themselves) sometimes need to be resized which can take time (given the amount that needs to be done)

It would be better if PowerPoint could place an outline around the grouped image (as opposed to an outline around each individual image)...are you able to help with this one too?

Many thanks again

Andy
