PowerPoint Improved inking experience within slides
Inking in PowerPoint is an incredibly important tool for capturing feedback and marking up slides (way more effective than a laser pointer). Ink is a very important way to engage with an audience. However, the in-slide ink experience is very poor generally and needs improvements such as:
Effective palm rejection - accidental touch pen artifacts and unexpected slide advances are common when presenting with touch and pen.
More Colors: In PowerPoint 2007 you could select from a large set of colors in the pen palette while presenting. The current limited set appeared in PP2010 and has not changed since.
Changing the line thickness :- this would be so useful for presenting!
Ink Beautify - As per Microsoft Whiteboard.
Shape recognition in slide.
So overall, inking during a PowerPoint Presentation is one of the keys to ending "Death by PowerPoint," but the feature is almost unchanged since it was nerfed in PowerPoint 2010. This needs urgent attention, in addition to marketing and training for people!

2 years and this has not been resolved? i guess they need to hire someone from Apple to help them figure this out... it really would be a great add on to MS... as stated by others before, the whole purpose of PP is for presentation, but if features don't work or show during presentation, that really defeats the purpose... hoping MS will get this resolved soon... please.... thanks!

hoping for - ink replay to run in presentation mode and exportable as a clip.

Yes! The first time I used it to write something on the screen I thought to myself, "This will look great and make an impact when I am presenting this live." Then when checking the presentation, the replay doesn't work. Huge oversight.

That's a great idea! I would love to have an easier way to recreate a previously drawn doodle/diagram/sketch, but make it appear more "live/interactive," instead of a static animation. I currently have to spend a lot of time preparing & animating drawings in order to provide the illusion of interactivity, but something with more automation would be a real time saver.

Agreed with the rest of the comments. When I found ink replay, I immediately wanted to use it in presentation mode … as that seemed the primary value of it, and it doesn't work.

Are you kidding me, what is the point of having ink replay if I can present it to my audience?!

I have just discovered the ink replay option, which is great! Then I tried it during the slideshow, which does not work anymore. Hey Microsoft! You have implemented a great feature and then forgot the purpose of it. Again. Why should I have ink animations, if I cannot show them to others during the presentation?!!! The feature is already there. Just extend it to the slide show view.

Two (2) Urgent Matters:
1. Replay animation during a presentation needs to be available
2. Even better if Ink replay can be exported as a video
Thank you kindly -

Somebody at Microsoft spent a long time implementing "Ink replay" ... but the whole point, the entire purpose, of powerpoint is presentation mode. What is the point of a sweet feature like this that cannot be used in presentation mode????
