powerpoint keeps moving my photos around, not letting me delete things in certain areas and not letting me add spaces.

i was working on a school project when i went back to check the slides before i submit it, when i saw on multiple slides that all the photos were un-croped and everywhen as well as adding extra paragraphs.

when i tried to remove the paragraphs the last word from the paragraph above went down to the one i was fixing and when i pressed space the word moved back.

this will also not let me add spaces in certain areas. this is very frustrating and i do not know what to do because i have to submit this soon.

    Hi,

    I suggest you select the range you need and go to Home- Editing- Select- Selection Pane...- you can check if the selections are locked:
