We’ve had a lot of requests for this feature in PowerPoint for iPhone and iPad, and it’s finally here! Now you can highlight all the text in a text box, table, or shape on a PowerPoint slide. You can also undo all the highlighting that someone else added (a feature that wasn’t available on iOS before).

How it works

Here’s how to highlight text in PowerPoint on your iOS device:

effectiveness

This feature is available to Office Insiders running Version 2.63 (Build 22062602) or later.

Features are released over time to ensure everything works smoothly. They are released slowly to a larger number of Insiders, highlighting features you may not have. Sometimes we remove elements based on your feedback to make them even better. This is rare, but we also have the option to completely remove a feature from the product, even if you, as an Insider, had the opportunity to try it out.
