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!
Its now 2017 and this still isnt supported? Really? Cripples it for me. Lucky for you your bundling strategy means PPT is kept viable because people need Word, otherwise this deviciciency alone would kill it it as a tablet app. Marketing win, technical fail—in other words, typical Microsoft.
When will you add this functionality
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
