Group Text Boxes in Google Slides

To group text boxes in Google Slides, we will use an example presentation about a corporate workshop. Follow the steps below:

1. Select All Text Boxes

To group text boxes in your presentation, start by selecting them. Click on the first text box related to a specific session, for example, the “Session Title.” Then, hold down the ‘Shift’ key and click on the additional text boxes for the same session, which might include “Time and Location,” “Speaker Name,” and “Key Points.” 

By holding down the ‘Shift’ key while clicking, you ensure multiple text boxes are selected simultaneously. Make sure all the relevant text boxes for the session are highlighted with a border, indicating they are selected.

2. Right-click and Select Group

With your text boxes selected, right-click on any one of the highlighted text boxes. A context menu will appear, giving you various options. Look for the ‘Group’ option in this context menu and click on it. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut by pressing Ctrl + Alt + G.

This action will group all the selected text boxes together, allowing you to move, resize, and format them as a single unit.
