Swap element positions

Hi Felix

Thanks for your question, it's an interesting one.

Unfortunately swapping two object positions is not a standard feature of PowerPoint.

It is possible using certain add ins, so if you are really keen check out this blog to find a suitable add in that will work for your needs:

An easy alternative in normal PowerPoint if you are working with pictures or icons is to:
- Duplicate Object 1 (Ctrl + D is the shortcut)
- Copy Object 2
- Right click on Object 1, select Change Graphic, select From Clipboard
- Then copy your duplicate of Object 1, click on Object 2, select Change Graphic, select From Clipboard
- Delete the duplicate of Object 1

This will directly swap the two pictures, keeping any sizing, positioning or special effects that you have applied.

Hope this answers your question.

Kind Regards,
