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!
True, and thanks for mentioning this in the post - selecting multiple objects on a slide was added a few releases back.
But, it would still be good if thetecwascacway to select multiple slides and paste them into another slide deck.
On another note, I've been following this thread for a while, and i do apreciate those who are keeping the conversation constructive, helpful and respectable.
Hi Luccino,
Thanks very much for taking the time to keep the thread going.
I would still like the ability to select multiple slides (as well as the existing ability to selct multiple objects on a slide).
The use case is I want to copy a small subset (say, 4 of 25 slides) from one PPTX into another.
This is sitll missing.
But, it is great multiple object selction is there.
