I have an image which has the same template as I want as slides in ppt Is there a possible “free” way to do this?

Hello 😊

I need to create a chart to show the relationship between some target groups, but I also want to include numerical values in the overlaps (not just text).

I'm considering using a Venn diagram, but I want something that also handles data representation effectively.

Could you recommend any methods to help me create this kind of chart? I'm looking for something that’s both data-driven and visually similar to a Venn diagram.

Thanks for your help!

Hi All - I wanted to see if someone has a suggestion abou this.

I have a text file with the structure that resembles what I have on that screenshot below (my actual file has much more data).

I'd like to convert this into slides where "Slide Title 1" would become the title of the slide and "Bulet point 1" (as well as bullets 2 & 3) would be come bullets on the slide.

Would PowerPoint Copilot be able to do this (I tried different prompts and techniques and I was not able to do it).

I am open to approaching this in any way that works, it does not have to be a Copilot. It takes me about 30 minutes to do this manually but I have to do it every week so I'd be saving about 2 hours per month if I can figure it out.

Thanks!

I have been looking everywhere but could not find anything on creating a shortcut to align images (e.g. Align to Top) on a mac. There seems to be some for Windows but was wondering if anyone using a mac is able to help?

I am having a lot of difficulty understanding how to create an interactive map in ppt based off of data in excel. In ppt I inserted a picture of the US and I want to have a dropdown menu where I can select data points (column headings) from excel and have it update in the appropriate state on the map in Ohio

For Example:

We have facilities in Ohio, TN, and FL. In excel I have these states listed under a column titled Division. I also have a few other column headers based off of KPI's such as IRR, ROI, CapEX. What I am trying to do is in ppt have a dropdown menu which I can click and select IRR and then it shows the corresponding state's IRR in the state on the map. If I want to show ROI, I would click ROI from the drop down in the ppt slide and the corresponding states ROI would appear in the state on the map.

I have tried using ChatGPT for help but nothing seems to be working.

Building a 6 module course and I will need to use some voiced-over PowerPoints, none of which will be longer than 1 hour. If I write up a script and record 1 audio file per slide, the insert the audios on each appropriate slide, when I export the presentation as a movie Will it work like a screencasted narrated PowerPoint? In other words, would it run like a basic YouTube video? if yes is there any setting I need to do on the inserted audio files, like “play automatically” or anything like that? I have access to Mac or Windows, but probably Mac-preferred. I know how to record a total voiceover, and I k ow I could do this and record in Zoom for example, but I’d like more control over the audio and not have to try to one-take 30-60 minutes of audio without making a mistake.

I'm lost. I have a pre-formatted deck that has over 80 slides as examples of formatting, etc. I only need to use a few slides, so I edited the ones I needed, copied them and then pasted into a new presentation. Here's my problem - both slides indicate Aleck Sans at 14pt. font, but the slides are completely different. The bullet points don't even line up with the same number of words on each line. The font on the original slides is somehow bigger and bolder, but there is no difference in the formatting.

What could I be doing wrong?

Is there a way to manipulate a 3D object while you are in Presentation mode?

In editing mode, you of course see the 3D rotation tool, allowing you to interactively rotate a 3D model into any position. But when you enter Presentation mode, the tool is not visible, and the 3D model becomes static and clicking anywhere on the model just advances the slideshow.

I understand you can set up multiple views of a 3D model and use the Morph transition to animate between the views, but it seems crazy to me that Microsoft wouldn't allow you to interactively manipulate a 3D model while you're presenting. It would seem to be a very common use case when demonstrating a product, for example.

Good afternoon everyone,

I have been working with this client for about 2-3 years on various projects, so we have a work relationship and they often come to me with small design projects like newsletter work. About 2 months ago we began our biggest project so far, a master deck for their client facing presentations. These decks are often complex and 80+ slides. We had multiple meetings to discuss a Proof of Concept I designed, mockups of what final slides might look like, and other graphical elements to include (fonts, colors, watermarks, #s, etc.)

I am nearing the finish line now and the final deliverables are as follows:

110 Slide Master Deck: To serve as a template to use in all future projects. This deck contains lorem ipsum slides, as well as mockups to demonstrate their use. The deck is designed to "plug n play" any information needed. There are a wide variety of layouts and assets that also encourage the client to create entirely new slides very easily if needed. This template includes title slides, table of content slides, graph slides, and around 30 slides of graphic vector resources that I designed and curated that fit their presentation themes.

A 7 Page Step by Step guideline of how to use the Master Deck: This includes a step by step guide, insuring brand guidelines are followed, as well as tons of tips and notes. It contains info about font size, colors, formatting, margins, troubleshooting, and more.

(POSSIBLE) A 1-2 Hour Training Session with their team: This is still up in the air but may be needed, we meet today to present the final slide deck and guidelines so we will see if this is needed.

Now my problem comes with the pricing. I originally quoted it to be around 6000$ of work, but my contact at the company and I are close and he told me 4000$ was more realistic for what they are looking for. Now that we are at the end we are discussing price over text and they're trying to argue me down to ~$3500 because its a slow business period for them now. I feel like I was already taking a lower rate by agreeing to 4000$. Keep in mind that this project was over the past 2 months, probably around 1-3 hours per day of work. ~6 Discussion meetings for edits and preferences.

I am really not sure what industry rates are for these types of projects, and it seems my client is not either. I cannot find anything concrete online and would love to hear about anyone's advice or previous experiences on stuff like this that may help me. I am happy to provide any details that might be asked in the comments!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a PowerPoint template for a client, and I’m stuck on how to solve an issue. I need the users to be able to edit headings and body text, but I want to lock the position of the text boxes. I also need the spacing between the heading and body text to always stay the same, no matter how much text is added or removed.

What I really want is to create a table, as it would solve the spacing issue, but I haven't found a way to let the users edit the content without having to go into Slide Master.

What I need:

• Users should be able to edit the text (headings and body text), but the position of the text boxes should stay fixed.
• If the heading is longer, the spacing between the heading and body text should remain consistent, even as the text changes.
• The template needs to be easy to use without needing technical knowledge.

Does anyone out there have any experience with how to solve the same issue? Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thank you 🙏

In PowerPoint, I want to use the rehearse timings feature, but I need my notes to be visible when I do it.
For some reason when using rehearse timings, the "show presenter view" option is greyed out so I can't use it. I need to be able to see my notes in order to get the timings right, who's idea was it to disable presenter view when in "rehearse timings" and what can I do about it?

Anybody know if this is possible on all slides systematically on web?

I tried searching it up, but it seems to only support text? The master slide window is only available on MS office desktop, which is problematic when my systems are Linux.

Trying to get this picture.

Using extended view with an HDMI cord on Mac. I have PowerPoints for teaching and have the normal PowerPoint on the projector screen and presenter view on my Mac. However, the first time I did this, I was able to have my Doc show up and use other applications and then switch back to my presenter mode. None of this ever affected the projector screen. However, ever since that first time, I have never been able to do this again. Is there a setting on PowerPoint that would help with this?

When I save powerpoint files on my mac, they never open. I get the message "This presentation is deleted or is not available" (in Norwegian "Denne presentasjonen er slettet eller er ikke tilgjengelig.") It only works when I save files in my school onedrive.

Hello everyone. I'm trying to create a randomiser for slides. But there's a hitch. My PP is up to date, those using it have an old version. I used VBA code to do mine but it's not backwards compatible. I need to randomise 30 slides. Any suggestions, please? Thank you.

Let me explain my challenge!

I have created a game in a PowerPoint, so participants go through and they have tasks to fill.

We have implemented some blockages and hurdles, like a wrong answer will block the user for a certain time etc...

I would like to bring it to the next level and allow participants to block other participants!

The organisation right now is that each participant has a difference file. So each opens its own file and goes through it.

My question is therefore, is it possible to control an opened powerpoint file from another open powerpoint file?

Example, I'm on slide 5 of the powerpoint, my colleague in his powerpoint has a button and when he presses it, it send my file back to slide 4.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I want create a presentation in which will be sync linked excel, when I write something to excel in the same device it works, but when I write something to excel in another device it doesnt work (everything is saved on cloud).

What’s the real difference between animation and motion graphics, especially when used in PowerPoint design? Do you think one works better than the other for engaging presentations?

College project! Nothing too tough Pls dm Will send a sample ppt for reference

Hello! I’m currently a student who is looking into the feasibility of monetizing my ability to create PowerPoint presentations? Most of the time in school whenever there is a project that requires a presentation, it’s always my job and I’ve done this for the past 4 or so years? I think I can create some pretty decent looking presentations and have received positive feedback from either my teachers or classmates. I’ve researched a bit into this but I still don’t really get the process, so I was hoping if someone who has already tried could give me advice?

Some questions I have:

What platforms would be best for starting if I monetize these?

How do you figure out pricing?

Are there specific skills I should develop further (e.g., templates, branding, animations)

What do potential clients look for into these presentations

Marketing? Should I try to have an online presence? Make reels or edits about my presentations? I’ve seen this in TikTok with short-form content focusing on showcases or tutorials.

Are there specific skills I should develop further (e.g., templates, branding, animations)

Anything will do! I just want to know what I’m getting myself into. Thanks in advance!

Weird question. Is there a way to make custom slideshow based on a tagged slide?

For example. I have the ability to brief on 10 things. But only 2,5,7,8 apply to the group today, group 1,3,7,8 apply tomorrow, group 1,3,5,8 the next.

Is it possible to make this selectable by group or would I have to do a custom slide show for each one?

Hello, everyone! Hope someone can help

I'm working on some slides and when I transfer them from my personal computer (running powerpoint version 2412) to my work laptop (running version 2411) the pan transition changes and behaves like a push transition.

It should work like in this video (taken from my pc):

https://reddit.com/link/1ibe5tb/video/phzhdjf7jkfe1/player

But it does this instead:

https://reddit.com/link/1ibe5tb/video/04yqllweikfe1/player

Of course I have taken into account that the ppt versions are different, but in their release notes there is no mention of changes to transitions, and when I check for updates in my laptop it says that PowerPoint is up to date.

The two files are the same, the first file has been transferred via pen drive and has not been touched in any way.

I could replicate the same effect with a Morph transition, but it would mean to rework all the slides.

Thanks in advance!
