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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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!!!!

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 Cliff,
We found a similar thread with the same concern. Please click this link and refer to Steve Rindsberg's responses on the thread.
Let us know if you have any other issues.
Disappointed that there is no multiselect in powerpoint on ipad... i found a dirty and annoying work around - i build each "component" that i want in a separate slide, then select all, and group... then i copy the grouped component back in to the main slide i'm composing. Hoping this fail gets addressed soon. Its painful and an uneccessary waste of time using the app without it.
the problem was resolved several months ago by Microsoft! ...no need for a dirty workaround
