Selecting multiple objects on a slide in Powerpoint for iPad

Question

Is it possible to select multiple shapes in Powerpoint for iPad so, for example, I and move a group of items around the screen together?

Answer 1

PowerPoint now supports selecting multiple object on a slide!

You have to press and hold an object with one finger and then tap other objects with another finger.

Problem solved!!!!

Answer 2

Selecting multiple objects is currently not supported in PowerPoint for iPad.

If a set of items is already grouped (using a different client like PowerPoint for Windows/Mac), you can move those objects as a group on the iPad.

Thanks for the feedback, and let us know if there is anything else you would like to see improved!

Hi Derek!  

Why hasn't this feature been implemented yet ? it is critical !!! Powerpoint on the ipad remains a crippled product without it and this very much seems like a highly political decision. MS is selling less than 1Mio surface devices each quarter so please treat the ipad not like a competitor. I'm a 365 subscriber because I want to use MS products on my Mac and iPad....I don't want to carry around the Mac so please ,please make it happen!

Microsoft does not monitor this site for product suggestions. However, they do get ideas for new features at the PowerPoint User Voice forum. There are already suggestions for multiple selection in PowerPoint for iPad, so you can vote for them: Select multiple objects on a slide for copy paste Copying multiple slides between two presentations

When will you add this functionality
