    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!!!!

    Cheers

    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!

    Some reasons:

    • I want to copy a set of objects to my next slide
    • I want to group a set of objects and create a smaller version
    • I want to move around a nummer of objects
    • I want to Change the text size in all objects at the same time to the same size
    • etc
