Powerpoint used to have guides, horizontal and vertical, that could be grabbed and moved across the page. The guides could be used to align objects over multiple pages - very handy.
In the last version of Powerpoint these moveable guides have disappered. Now replaced with the coloured fixed guides. I've repaired 360, no change. Worse - no one seems to remember these "draggable" guides. Did I imagine the whole thing? I'm sure I used them for years.
Hi, @MagnusEriksson-3930
Welcome to the Q&A Forum. My Office is Office365 for enterprise, the version number is 15028.20204(the latest version), this is my test screenshot:
I can move the horizontal and vertical guides normally. Can you provide your Office version number and test screenshots?
One way to try is to uninstall and reinstall Office and log back into your Office account.

Hi, @MagnusEriksson-3930
Has your problem been resolved? Any questions can be answered here.
You can have guides on three levels:
on the slide
on the layout
on the master
Those on the slide can be moved by every user, those on layout or master can be moved only in Slide Master View.
If you only see coloured fixed guides, the creator of the template has added them to layout and/or master. If you need movable guides on slide level, right-click anywhere in an empty space on your slide and chose Grid and Guides, then you can add horizontal and/or vertical guides, which you can drag.
