    Move Shape Other Shape Stays Within It

    Hi

    I'm trying to figure out how if I move the large blue rectangle "Rectangle 1" anywhere in the worksheet I can get the small red rectangle "Rectangle 2" to stay within it.

    An example is attached

    Using the top and left positions of the large rectangle will I need to set some sort of offset for the small rectangle?

    Thanks

    Hello Stanley91,

    You can Group the Shapes together...
    1. Press and Hold the CTRL key.
    2. Left Click each Shape you want in the Group.
    3. Release the CTRL key and Right Click.
    4. Select [b]Group{/b] from the popup menu.
    5. Select Group again from the Second popup.

    In Drawing tools highlight both squares and use "Group"

    Thanks

    Sorry I should have specified is there a way of doing it without using group? the application I will be using the shapes for, grouping the shapes wont suit.

    cheers
