Select objects hidden by other objects (PowerPoint 2000/2002/2003/2004/2007)

Very often we layer objects on top of each other for some effect, such as when setting up a custom animation of more than one item. However, it can be a challenge if you have to edit one of the hidden objects when you've already set overlapping objects in place. You may have tried to move these overlapping objects in the past, and struggled to pile things back in place the way they were before. When an object is obscured by other items on the slide, you can still select it by using the [Tab] key. Just press [Tab] repeatedly and PowerPoint will cycle through every object, including text boxes and hidden objects, on the slide.
