Hello Everyone:

Our marketing team is working on several slide shows for an upcoming
meeting. We can group several items with no problems, however, when we
ungroup to make edits, add objects, etc. the only option we have is to
regroup. When we select regroup, all of the items are not grouped (new or
existing items are not included). Is there any way we can clear the grouping
preferences/format so that we can select group (not regroup) and have all
items combined into one instance? I hope this makes sense :-).

Regroup uses the previous objects -- it doesn't know there are new objects
you want to add.

If you select all the objects -- old and new -- you can just use "group" to
create a "new" group that includes everything you want.
