Hi, has anyone found a fix to PPT not allowing you to resize objects in PPT? Seems to be a new problem from another discussion thread but there isn’t any insight into any work around or when/how this can be fixed. Would greatly appreciate any insight.

Thanks,

Jenn

    Exactly the same issue here, with the same configuration.

    Very frustrating and quite unusable when working a lot on PowerPoint.. Please help !

    This workaround might help until Microsoft fix the bug https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/powerpoint-on-ipad-pro-images-keep-freezing-and/b9b59050-0830-4666-9e15-926286758691

    I have this problem too.

    iPad Pro M4

    iPadOS 17.5.1

    PowerPoint 2.86

    I can move and resize images with my finger - works fine. But as soon as I use the trackpad on the Apple Magic Keyboard or my mouse to move or resize an image, all the images in the presentation freeze and cannot be moved or resized - even with my finger. Closing the file and reopening it again clears the problem. But it returns again as soon as I use the trackpad to move or resize and image.

    Hi Sophia, thank you for the response. On iOS there is not an option under Reset PPT to enable all options. Regardless, the issue still persists after resetting what I can and restarting my laptop. I have submitted a ticket under feedback as well. Since I am not part of a larger organization is there a support number I can call?

    Thank you,

    Jenn
