Dynamic reordering is a new feature in PowerPoint 2011 (and Word 2011 Publishing Layout view) that you can use to see and access all objects on the slide, layout, page, or master, in a visually stunning, instant 3-D view.

Using the Selection And Visibility Pane in Office 2010

In the illustration that follows, the larger of the two concentric boxes is in front of the smaller one, so that the semitransparent fill can partially mask the smaller shape.

The problem is that you need to change the shape or formatting of the smaller shape. How do you select it? If you have the space on the slide, you can drag around the smaller shape to marquee it. But, what if the slide is too crowded to give you a clear place from which to drag, or what if the shapes are grouped (as they are in this case)?

If you’re a keyboard fan, you can select the group and the press Tab to cycle through selecting different shapes within the group. Note that pressing Tab will cycle through shapes included in the group first, and then will continue to select other objects on the slide, one at a time.

Alternatively, if you use Office 2010, you can use the Selection And Visibility pane. To access this pane, on the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Select, and then click Selection Pane.

Every object in the current view is listed individually in the pane. As you see in Figure 14-10, just click the shape name to select it—despite the fact that the shape is behind another and they’re grouped. (Note that you can apply formatting, move objects, or even add or edit text in individual shapes while they’re grouped.)
