Use this interactive demo to learn how to combine multiple text boxes into a single grouped object in Google Slides.

Quick summary

Grouping text boxes in Google Slides lets you move, resize, and format multiple elements as one object. Select all target text boxes, then use the Group option to lock them together instantly.


Steps

  1. Select all text boxes by clicking and holding the left mouse button, then dragging across your entire slide to highlight every text box in your presentation.
  2. Right-click on your mouse and choose Group from the context menu.
  3. Your text boxes are now grouped as a single object and can be moved or resized together.

📌 Why this matters

Grouping text boxes in Google Slides is a core productivity skill that prevents layout from breaking when you move or resize slide elements. By combining multiple text boxes into one grouped object, presenters maintain precise alignment and design consistency across every slide. This feature is especially valuable for teams building branded templates or complex multi-element layouts. Mastering the Group function reduces manual repositioning and saves significant editing time in Google Slides.
