If several objects are selected on the slide, the commands you run are applied:

•To all selected objects: If the command is applicable to the properties of each object from the selected ones. For example, if a shape, an image, and a table are selected on the slide, clicking  Fill color will apply the fill settings to each selected object.

•To one object among the selected objects: If the command is applicable to the properties of one object. For example, if a line, a shape and a table are selected on the slide, then when run the  Insert row above command, the row will be added only to the selected table.

 

The following restrictions apply in this version of the application:

•When you select several objects that include a table, you cannot specify the exact size of cells in the table, merge cells, or delete individual columns or rows.

•You cannot enter text from the keyboard into multiple selected objects at the same time.

 

You can find common tools for working with multiple selected objects in the Home tab, in the Objects group:

• Fill color: Fill a shape, table cells, image with color or image.

• Shape outline: Set the line style; specify the color, type and thickness of the outer borders of the table, outline of the shape and image.

• Arrow type: The button is displayed if there is a line among the selected shapes. It is designed to select the type of line tips.

 

You can do the following actions with all selected objects at the same time:

•Move.

•Resize.

•Change the position.

•Copy, cut and paste.

•Delete.

 

To do this, follow the corresponding steps for any object from the selected ones.

You can move between objects from left to right, from top to bottom. The overall selection of objects is automatically cleared.
