MS Office 2016 has a vectorize feature (Merge Shapes, Fragment) but not the Morph feature? Office 365 has the Morph feature, but not the vectorize feature for clipart. Why can’t both features be in Office 365?

Like Office Mix, please make recordings in PPT automatically create a linked table of contents and timeline markers based on each slide, for quickly jumping to relevant content. This was the single best feature of Office Mix for educators and learners alike and now a huge loss of functionality.

Hi! Please add a feature to adjust the transparency of pictures as a whole.
This is a quite useful feature when creating master/ presentation sildes.
While you are at it, could you add a slider to the "Picture Tools"-tab to adjust the transparency of a picture?

ATM, you actually can adjust the transparency of a picture, but the process of doing has too many steps and is really uninuitive.

When creating a new presentation, users should be able to alternate between landscape and portrait slide orientation in the same file, similar to how Word allows this. Forcing portrait or landscape makes users have to create multiple presentations and then splice them together outside of PowerPoint.

Currently in a multiple column text box, one has to add extra spaces to force a line into the second column, why not have a column break command in PPT as there is in Word

please update this add on to work with office 2016 and office 365. for education use.

It is common to mark up slide content with red and green shapes, fonts, etc. These can lose their desired contrast to someone that is color-blind.

PowerPoint already has the ability to view the presentation in grayscale and black and white views. Why not add another "Color Blind" mode, where you can choose the type of color blindness and simulate what an individual would see on the slide?

Lock placeholder and objects and its preferences so they cant be modified in any way. Also make option to autofit och manually crop the added items like images to image placeholder.

Lock dont need to be permanent. But if you want to undo the lock you have to rightclick on object and "unlock".

Why do we need this? To create templates that follow certain guidelines and rules that your company, organisation, school etc have. This would prevent the user to accidently move an object on the created presentation or tutorial.

Provide the ability to save table design templates (similarly to how chart design templates are saved). This would cut out the need to use a separate programme like AvoPress and allow consistent tables throughout the deck.

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?

I would love to see the ability to chat with people I have shared the presentation with built right into powerpoint. I have a business account and often resort to using the online version of powerpoint for this reason alone. It would also be beneficial to have documents that are shared upload automatically so that edits appear almost instantly on other's screens. Again, this is a feature that is on powerpoint online that is extremely helpful when collaborating with others.

I'd like to be able to scroll down one slide and have part of the next one come up under it, instead of jumping entirely to the next slide. Often when I've zoomed a slide for detail work, I get too close to the bottom margin and suddenly I'm on another slide.

Include automatic references generation in Powerpoint

Has anyone addressed this here? Page numbering is cumbersome and can be a nightmare.

There is no reason to keep "Notes Panel" at slide bottom, nowdays almost everyone has a wide screen, the current position is uncomfortable for editing.
This panel should be at right or allow to change position.

I'm Autistic and I struggle to make and follow notes. I don't think I am dyslexic but when I read notes the words move around. PowerPoint without this feature isn't accessible to the blind, partially sighted, illiterate, Learning Disabled and dyslexics. Being able to listen to an audio prompt on each slide would make it more accessible

If the space allocated to the selection pane is small or a shape has a long name, the EYE icon on the right can get pushed out of view and becomes inaccessible. Put the icon on the left and the problem disappears.

I like the look of the Keynote templates. However, I cannot find anything in PowerPoint templates with such bold and yet simple looks.
