Allow drag-and-drop of PDF images from other software (notably LaTeXiT for better equation creation).
You used to be able to drag equations from LaTeXiT directly into PowerPoint in the 2011 version in PDF format so they scaled nicely on different screens and projectors and could be re-sized with no loss of quality. This is broken in 2016, and never worked prior to the 2011 version. It would be even better if such elements could be dragged in-line, but that may be asking a little much.

Ability to group tables with other elements (Shapes, Images, Text boxes)

Format multiple tables at a time
When I have multiple tables on a slide I want to be able to select all of them and make the same change to each one.
When I try and do this I can only see the "Shape Format" tab instead of the "Table Design" and "Table Layout" tab.

Create a keyboard shortcut for placing images
Create a keyboard shortcut for placing images. We would all save a lot of time. We could save even more time if you linked back to the folder you were placing from rather than click through to it every time. Unlike literally every other program in the world..

Put Quick Access Toolbar icons in COLOR.
Powerpoint 2011 used colored icons in the Quick Access Toolbar and they were MUCH easier to locate at a glance. The dull grey icons that now appear are so confusing I seldom use them,

cmd+Backspace and alt+Backspace works incorrectly
cmd+Backspace should delete all the characters in a line before cursor position, alt+Backspace should delete the last word (this is Mac OS conventions).

Automated image editing for comparison of "before-after" images.
Powerpoint would automatically offer to adjust the editing functions (zoom, crop, pan, tags etc.) of "after" image to that of "before" image.
When presenting in radiology it is important to present before-after images in the most consistent way; when I present an image of a brain at a baseline study and after six months, I want the two images to fit to each other as much as possible, almost like it's the same image, so the audience can focus on the differences between the two. To allow them focusing on only the relevant differences, we need to get rid of…

Unable to do Save As to OneDrive Folder and Local Directory At the Same Time
I notice that it is necessary to do two save as functions of a Powerpoint presentation document if I want to have a current copy both in my OneDrive folder and local directory or drive on my Mac. At the moment I have do a save as of a document to my OneDrive folder then do a second save as of the same document to a local directory or drive.
Important suggestion is for the developers to urgently consider writing an option of allowing the saving of files into the two locations at the same time, without having to so…

What about a sequence of appearing depending on the answer of the participants
About animation, I would like the words to appear only when the auditors have given the answer. Like there are 7 words to be given, and when that word is mentionned, then I can make it appear. So there is no particular sequence, it will only be depending on the answers. When the 7 words have been found, I can go to the next slide
