Gurus,

Running Office 2003 Professional. My PowerPoint slides have a drawing
object "in the back" of a main diagram picture a different view of which is
on 60 slides. Short of dragging the main picture on each slide to the side
and manually deleting the drawing object underneath (a red circle), is there
a better way?

Is there anything about the shape you want to delete that is unique but
constant?

For instance, is it the only circle on the page, or is it always in the
exact same position>

If either of these is yes, than a macro can do this easily and nearly
instantly.

As well as Bill's suggestion you can try selecting the front shape. Press TAB
until the selection swaps to the back shape (the handles will be visible even
if the shape is hidden) and then DELETE
