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 Derek!
Why hasn't this feature been implemented yet ? it is critical !!! Powerpoint on the ipad remains a crippled product without it and this very much seems like a highly political decision. MS is selling less than 1Mio surface devices each quarter so please treat the ipad not like a competitor. I'm a 365 subscriber because I want to use MS products on my Mac and iPad....I don't want to carry around the Mac so please ,please make it happen!
It is now late 2016 and multiple selection is still not possible...the continued neglect of user wishes in regard to this extremely critical function seems to be 100% political as the user experience for Powerpoint on the ipad remains crippled....
This is a deal breaker... Was going to move to Office 365 using the iPad apps but multi-select is such a fundamental feature, I don't think I can do without...
