    Unfortunately, I'm only allowed to work on this at work (since they won't give me access to my files from home) so you're stuck with my examples here. I think it's pretty clear from the picture what's going on, but that might just be cuz I've stared at this code for a few days already testing things

    The problem is, for the corner routines, I have to sort based on 2 criteria. For example, in the pic above (topright prodecure), I have to get the topmost shape's value AND the rightmost shape's value -- EVEN if they are not the same shape. I think that's the key. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to determine which method I should do first based on the shape layout. If they are more vertical in nature, then I should magnetize right / align tops. If they are more horizontal in nature, then I should magnetize top / align rights.

    I would love to test out some things at home, but everything is locked up at work, so I'll have to wait until Monday.


    Incidently, I think I'm eventually going to want to turn this into an add-in. The file this macro is in has various other macros that I've written to make my life easier. I setup a coworker's PowerPoint with the same macro and she couldn't run it while I was in the file making edits. If I make this an add-in, will it bypass that problem?
