The ability to add shapes to a PowerPoint slide (like possible in the Excel API beta). Currently it's only possible to add either text or images. Thank you!

Office API for MAC which is not possible with VSTO

access shapes in the slide

Why don't you add the possibility to apply the Find & Replace tool only to a text selection, as is done in Microsoft Excel? This would be much appreciated!

Add to the embedded Powerpoint presentation API to:
1.Get the presentation metadata
2. Control the presentation slides

Please can you increase the frame rate that PowerPoint is able to record at? Screen recording in PP is an absolute game changer, but 10 fps is nowhere near high enough and produces footage that stutters along.

PowerPoint Design Ideas is a great feature!

Please allowchanging slide direction to RTL (180 degree rotation) of the suggested drawings, especially those with reading direction such as arrows, and slide heading background.

Thanks,

Scenario: a task pane add-in displays a list of objects that represent content that can be added to a slide as a content add-in instances.
Allowing the instantiation of a content add-in programmatically would facilitate creation of great user experiences.

Hello,

I would like to convert selected Add-In slide images to an image. For example to base64 or png format.

Currently the JavaScript Api doesn't support this.

For an old project I used the following method to get this done in a VSTO Add-In:

    public string SlideToImage(Slide slide, string filePath)

    {

        // Store images in the given path with slide name e.g. C:\Users\BramR\AppData\Local\Temp\2\slide_afbeeldingen.jpg

        var path = $"{filePath}\\{slide.Name}.jpg";

        slide.Export(path, "PNG", 1024, 768);

        return path;

    }

Is there a way I could do this with the new Office Add-In generation?

Regards,
Bram

Presentation.SaveCopyAs fails when trying to save to the local OneDrive folder. Steps to reproduce (tested with 16.0.11001 and 16.0.10730):

VBA:
ActivePresentation.SaveCopyAs Environ("userprofile") & "\OneDrive\OneDriveSaveCopyAsTest.pptx"
This does not give an error, but does not save the copy.

C#:
ActivePresentation.SaveCopyAs(Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(@"%userprofile%\OneDrive\OneDriveSaveCopyAsTest.pptx"));
This throws a COMException with HRESULT 0x80CD1001.

To extend PowerPoint with additional functionality and also add a new content type, we currently need to develop, package and deploy two add-ins, and task pane add-in and a content add-in. And the user needs to install two add-ins.
To improve developer/vendor and user experience it would be really helpful if at least two add-ins could be packaged, shipped, marketed and installed as a unit that can be discovered and installed in one step.

Presently there is no way to insert hyperlink to the powerpoint slides using the office JS. So please add ability to insert hyperlink to Powerpoint slides

Occasionally, when a presentation is opened while a modal (add-in) dialog is open, PowerPoint seems to get into an infinite loop reading the following registry value:
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Identity\DisableADALatopWAMOverride

PowerPoint does not show as "Not responding" but effectively it is not responding to any clicks.

We have only seen this behavior on machines where DisableADALatopWAMOverride was set to 1. This cannot reliably be reproduced but happens on different machines for different users. All of this seems to be related to Office 365 authentication.

As like the Selection.Range.InsertXMl I need the option in powerpoint also. It will be helpful for adding contents using openxml.

I have a document with several fields the contents of which changes from project to project. Instead of opening this document in PowerPoint and running search/replace for each field, with a lot of keyboard/mouse input, I would like to be able to run a utility from command line, which would do it for me. For text files I could do it easily in Linux using sed, awk, etc. I need to be able to do the same for Word and PowerPoint files

Add support for the Add-In to create a new slide in the presentation. A possible use case would be to support the ability for an add-in to insert template marketing slides. A sales person needs to create a new presentation. The add-in pulls the latest marketing slide from a repository and adds them to the presentation ensuring that the sales person is always using the latest slides
