Entry point: Select the icon directly on the slide editing canvas

  2. Select the icon that you want to reposition.
  3. Hold the left mouse button and drag the icon to the target area.
  4. Release the mouse button to finish the adjustment.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: The icon appears in its new position.
  • What you can do next: You can continue resizing, rotating, or arranging the icon.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If the icon is not selected first, dragging may select an area on the slide instead.
  • Environment note: If the slide contains many elements, zoom in first so the position change is easier to check.

2. Set an exact position in object properties

Entry point: Shape Tools tab → Size area → expand button → Object Properties → Size & Properties → Position

  1. Select the icon that you want to reposition.
  2. Click the Shape Tools tab.
  3. In the Size area, click the expand button to open the Object Properties pane on the right.
  4. Under Size & Properties, find the Position section.
  5. Set the Horizontal Position and Vertical Position values.
  6. Choose the Relative to reference point as needed, such as Top Left or Center.
  7. Check the live result on the slide and confirm whether the icon is in the expected position.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: The icon moves according to the values you entered.
  • What you can do next: You can continue adjusting the values until the layout looks right.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Different reference points change how the same position values are applied on the slide.
  • Environment note: This method is more suitable for precise layout work than for quick rough movement.

Entry point: Select the icon and use the alignment-related tools in Presentation

  1. Select the icon that you want to position.
  2. Open the alignment-related tools based on your layout needs.
  3. Choose an alignment option such as horizontal center or vertical center.
  4. Check whether the icon has moved to the target area.
  5. If needed, continue with dragging or object property values for fine adjustments.

Success Criteria

  • On-screen result: The icon is aligned to the target position on the slide.
  • What you can do next: You can continue arranging it with other icons or text boxes.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: After alignment, make sure the correct object was selected if the slide contains multiple elements.
  • Environment note: This method is useful for quick placement, while fine offsets are easier to handle in object properties.
