NDI output support for PowerPoint
I'd like to recommend a feature to be added to the PowerPoint application. NDI is a high quality, low latency professional video IP format that I think would be a good addition to this application. I would allow you to share the output of PowerPoint on other peoples computer using a free NDI Monitor application or send the output into professional video production solutions.
The Skype team at Microsoft has added NewTek NDI support into their product. PowerPoint would be the next product that I think should be enhanced with this royalty free technology. You can learn more about NDI…

Add Fishbone (Ishikawa/Cause and Effect) Diagrams to SmartArt
Top level could the be ultimate effect (the head of the fish), second level would be the main ribs of the fish, third level would be sub-causes, forth level would be sub-sub-causes (if possible - three levels would probably be sufficient). I'm looking for automatic fishbone diagram generation and can't find anything on the internet that does it automatically - just templates of people manually drawing them. This seems like such a simple slam-dunk for SmartArt!

Option to customize Powerpoint colors. I'm Color Blind and cannot see which slide is selected in the thumbnails in Dark Mode.
I'm Color Blind and I cannot easily see which slide is selected in the thumbnails when using the Dark Mode. The Dark mode is usually better for my eyes.
We could have an option to change that color (that I don't know - I think green), or an option to increase the thickness of that borderline around the thumbnails.21 votes -

Export PowerPoint slides to SVG
I would like to be able to export slides as an SVG image. Since Visio can do this, it shouldn't be any problem adding feature to MS Office apps.

Powerpoint could have options to display bigger pen point (like a pen or '+')
Powerpoint could have options to display bigger pen point.
It is very small and difficult to see and find during presentations.
I would like to see something like a pen or a (x). I use wacom display, for example, and it is difficult to see the point in monitor during presentation. In some softwares the referred point is a "pen" or a "+". This simple change turns easier.

Allow matrix alignment options in PowerPoint Equation Editor
The Equation Editor in Word allows alignment options to be specified for matrices. The PowerPoint version of the Equation Editor does not. This make Powerpoint versions standard mathematical constructions (e.g. definition of functions by cases) ugly. Please, can the Equation editor in PowerPoint be the same as the one in Word?

graph paper background.
If I had it, I could create more accurate pages for design layout reflecting realworld measurements. As an example. I am working on a project to design a property for a non-profit, where building dimensions set in lot dimensions need to be accurately reflected. It's hard to create facilities when I am guessing at the footprint of buildings on exactly sized land. With graph paper, real paper, and/or a ruler and protractor, I can make drawings reflect space...why can't this program have a graph paper background setting so I can do the same? I did see a ruler option, but…

Allow Grayscale Features on Chart Labels
Would love to have ability to change grayscale settings on chart data labels. For example, in B&W my stacks that have dark fills also have dark font data labels and it's very hard to see. I currently have to work around that by using text boxes and it's time-consuming.

Excel Graphs Change Size After Pasted as Link into PowerPoint
When pasting Excel graphs into PowerPoint as a linked object, the Excel graph will shrink to 50% size or grow to 150% size if any change is made to the Excel file it is linked to (in our experience, the object shrinks ~90% of the time). The dimensions of the object change in PowerPoint, but the scaling remains at 100%. In order to return the linked graph to the correct size as created in Excel, all Excel worksheets need to be closed and the 'Update Link' needs to be selected after right clicking on the graph. The linked graph will…
