Selecting multiple objects in ppt (with Vista)

[Alanna]

I have just switched to vista and it seems when I select multiple objects by
holding down the control key and selecting them that it makes multiple
copies. I do not want this.

I use this feature alot to align items, sync them etc. This was not a
problem in XP.

Can someone tell me how to select multiple objects without copying them??
