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.
As a former software developer, I'll bet $1000 it works just fine in the test versions used by developers, software testers, etc., etc. Let's be real. It's disabled so that you have to run a full version on a PC. Funny, I'm a PC guy, and would do that anyway. But man this hacks me off. Thanks for wasting my time this evening looking up how to do this.
