I cannot figure out how to easily pan an image across a slide. Paths work to a degree but are not smooth. Needs a simple pan animation for long panoramic photos.
Using the selection pane in master slide view to name layers should carry over to normal view.
Isn't it about time that the slide sorter was made more sophisticated. I would like to be able to cluster slides into groups so that I can readily switch topic according to my audience needs. Would be nice to be able to do this via buttons at the bottom or side of my presentation (like you often see on websites.
Allow "Save As" function to select any folder, rather than the few root folders and few recent folders.
Because I can't save to the folder I want, I have to clutter my desktop (one of the root folders listed) with files to be saved elsewhere. Makes a mess, causes extra steps killing productivity, and is lame to begin with.
When you click on a slide in sorter view on the Mac it adds a slide. It would be better if it went to the more detailed view as it does on the Windows version.
There appears to be an issue in the CustomLayout object model.
The code works as expected on various PC versions of PowerPoint.
I just upgraded from 2011 to 2016, and I face the problem to open my ppt 2011 with 2016, and it is only for the PP.
It is find for excel and word.
It used to be possible with Powerpoint for the Mac to ungroup charts from Excel. This was a crucial power feature to customize and design charts beyond the fixed default format of Excel. A very useful function indeed.
Unfortunately, this is no longer possible on the Mac even though using the Enhanced Metafile format it still seems to work on Windows.
Bring back chart ungrouping, so we can make professional and personal charts again using Powerpoint. Excel and PPT formats are too limited and don't satisfy the requirements of many companies and publishers. Re-enabling chart ungrouping would make Office much more flexible and powerful.
Have the Office apps automatically restore previously open files when reopening the app (maybe I'm doing something wrong?).
In PP the red spell check line only appears as on short red ^ in front of the first letter. It does not underline the whole word as in Word. Not sure if this is another El Capitan glitch but it makes spell checking while you type difficult.
I wish you just had a SAVE PDF button that one could press on the ribbon.
Please reinstate the "Save as PDF" from the "Save As" options list. Or even better just put it on the ribbon.
I make extensive use of PowerPoint for presentations. It's a shame that I have to start movies separately bij Quicktime. Please integrate!
Default gutter (space between columns) for columned text box need to be .5" or anything other than 0".
No reason ever for someone to use columned text with a 0" gutter. It always has to be manually changed.
I design a lot of complex slides where I need to stage content outside the active slide area. In Powerpoint 2011 I could use the tilt wheel on my mouse to scroll left and right to view that content, but in 2016 tilting my scroll wheel left or right advances down through my slides. I don't know if this is an enhancement so much as a fix.
Tables in PowerPoint – Add Tab Stops Gone "ctrl + ⇥"
In PP 2011 you could add tab stops within tables using "ctrl + ⇥". This keyboard shortcut seems to be gone. You cannot add tab stops in table cells any longer. Pls get this back urgently.
