Just like superheroes have signature costumes (you wouldn’t mistake Batman for Superman, right?), your slide background signals who you are and what you stand for.

Ever tried copying an object in PowerPoint and found it refuses to sit still when pasted? Instead of landing neatly atop the original—like a twin returning to its bunk bed—it drifts off like a rebellious balloon. This default offset paste behavior can be especially annoying when working with precise layouts, animations, or rotational effects that demand pixel-perfect placement. That’s where VBA steps in like a backstage ninja, letting you paste objects exactly where you want—no nudging required.
Use VBA in PowerPoint to paste shapes precisely in place.
