When a presentation with transition sounds is converted to video, these are not transferred. Only are transferred the sound that are directly inserted.

It would be great to be able to add exit animations to objects on a PowerPoint slide so that when you click to advance to the next slide those objects perform an exit animation and then the slide is immediately advanced afterwards.

Currently, in order to achieve this effect we need to duplicate the elements onto the following slide which is a pain and makes editing tedious. This workaround also doesn't work for presentations that use hyperlinks to navigate around a deck.

Improve the ability for PowerPoint slides to be turned into print-ready documents, including:

• ability to easily add bleed and cut lines to slides (for exporting to PDF) without affecting current placement of elements on a slide

• colour conversion to CMYK

Currently when using the accessibility checker there is no way to flag that a video in the presentation has no audio and that captions aren't necessary.

I've had to create a webvtt to put in a caption that says no audio.

It would be great if this could be done by PowerPoint

Would be very useful to have a toggle in the Selection Pane that allows to hide/unhide selected layer!!!!!!!!!

As an editor of many submissions from the field, I used this functionality every day. its gone, and a big productivity killer... unbelievable workarounds are posted in forums.. mine will be to use an old laptop.... makes no sense..

It's just like another way to make animation loop seamless.
The idea is a checkbox like "Auto-Reverse" in other animations. After the Transparency done, the object will turn back into no transparency for a while. This' may meaningless in simple case but It'll help to control the object draw order (like Z-Depth) in animation, make it possible to loop animations like flip cards, object go behind another then go above it (something like this https://gblobscdn.gitbook.com/assets%2F-M3EXlibk6bj2FzPQW-9%2F-MXZYdH1VnApRXn6r7tt%2F-MXdkBYlA37I43RczryP%2Fdraw%20order.gif)

You would put down a list and click on the designer button and it would automatically create icons for the lists that were great. And, you could swap out the icons if you wanted. It was very useful, very easy and used all the time!

The current animation pane is set over 3 tabs. Computers have much larger screens and we waste clicks jumping between the three tabs that could all be in ONE screen.

Currently animations have to be manually dragged out in the timeline if they are delayed for over 60 seconds. Why can't we just type the number of seconds into the numerical field?

The "birds eye view" and the "Navigator panel" are commonly used in many image editing applications, e.g. https://youtu.be/Hb2iopWR9ZQ?t=59 . PowerPoint already provides a slide thumbnail (the only difference is that it shows thumbnails for multiple slides simultaneously) in the "Normal view" layout.

As a PowerPoint user, I commonly zoom in 400%, and sometimes, I feel a bit confused about where I am. It would be great if PowerPoint would show my current view box on the slide thumbnail. Ideally, it should also allow to drag it.

In many cases, I'd like the font size to change simultaneously with the shape size. That is, if a have a 2x2cm square with 14pt text in it, I'd like to resize both to 1x1 and 7pt, just like if it was a raster image. It might be a good idea to add a checkbox somewhere inside the "shape settings" that would trigger such a resizing behavior.

The "Scale text simultaneously with images in PowerPoint" is a quite popular user request ( https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/scale-text-simultaneously-with-images-in/af9f9437-f77d-4c40-8f7f-9d8e43196155 ), I'm surprised I cannot find anything like that on uservoice.

Have the option to set up a pen tray (similar to that in MS whiteboard) to be available quickly during presentations. Currently changing pen colours during a presentation is a bit of a chore and interrupts flow.

I should be able, in edit points, to specify a segment is vertical or horizontal, or perhaps oriented 45 degrees, although I never need that. But trying to keep a complex line horizontal and vertical is an annoying problem.

Once I say a segment is a straight segment, or a curved segment, the only way that segment can change is if I change it to a curved segment or straight segment. Moving a point shall not, not once, not ever, cause a segment to change shape once I have chosen its type. In particular, the annoying habit of changing a straight segment to a curved segment is UNACCEPTABLE.

The color palette feels like something from the late 80s still.
Can we get a more modern color picker system with custom, saveable color palettes with WAY more color choices.

The ability to create motion paths in another software package and then paste it into PowerPoint.
