Copy & Paste Problem

When I try to 'copy and paste' a graphic assembled from squares, rectangles,
arrows, text which have been turned into appropriate positions, they
're-arrange' when I paste into Word 2007 or even on another slide page in
Powerpoint 2007?

How do I get the various figure portions to 'stay in the position I put them
in'?

This is a re-worded question posed below:

I assemble a graphic in Powerpoint 2007 (from squares, rectangles, arrows,
text, etc), turn them around to desired positions, and then group them.
However, when I past the grouped figure (group, copy, paste) into Word 2007,
or even onto another page in Powerpoint, the assembled figures that were
turned and grouped, turn back to their original positions and the entire
figure is no longer the one that was copied. Is there a way to stop this
from happening. Even if I use "paste special', it still happens. I've had
to resort to "save as picture" and then import a picture....which doesn't
look exactly like the Powerpoint graphic (tried in several different picture
formats... bmp, png, jpg, gif)....had to finally use a screen copy program
and save as picture (at least that picture, bmp, looked exactly like the
Powerpoint graphic). Is there a way to stop the graphic portions from
turning back to other positions when pasted into Word or another page in
Powerpoint?

Did you try grouping them before moving?
