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?

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!

Something to keep in mind:
Office will be updated far more often than we're used to seeing on previous desktop versions.
In just the last couple of months, some major features have been added.
Keep up the good feedback, especially if it includes explanations of WHY a feature is important to you and the pain that NOT having it causes you.
Hi. Just want to add my name to those who think this would be a very valuable edition. I'm using PowerPoint on my iPad a lot now, and this is one thing that is a limitation. I'd add to the list also the ability to select multiple slides and either move them, or cut/paste into another presentation. If I have four slides in one deck I need in another I have to select, copy, close, open, edit, paste, close, open.. and repated three more times.. Thanks. By the way, this ability aside, I LOVE PowerPoint on my iOS!!
This is a critical feature since it hinders even the review of slides created with other clients. Making adjustments to slides with an array of objects is just too time consuming when you have to go through and try to adjust each object individually. Please make this a priority for the next release.
