I'm using PowerPoint 2002 SP3. I have a text box and two pictures that I
inserted that I would like to handle as a single object. When I right click
on all three (as I would in Word), and choose Grouping, none of the
selections are active. Can anyone suggest a resolution?

You should be able to group these

Hold down ctrl key and left click each in turn then right click and group

Did that answer the question / help?

Zynk,
Is this textbox a placeholder? If so you cannot group a placeholder with
other objects. Try using a texbox you draw yourself using the drawing
toolbar that can be grouped.
