Add ability to create/update charts in PowerPoint using JavaScript API
JavaScript API for PowerPoint is very limited at the moment. The only options we have are to insert text or picture. Presentations are all about the visualization, so it would be very cool if we have an option to add/update charts as well.

Support the reading and editing of Custom XML Parts by PowerPoint Add-Ins
Currently if an add-in relies upon being able to read and write Custom XML Parts, it can only do it in Word (and coming in Excel JS 1.3). It would be great to see this functionality appear in PowerPoint so that add-ins can be created that interact with data stored in Custom XML Parts.

getSelectedDataAsync for Powerpoint shapes
getSelectedDataAsync only return text string (if there is text in selected shape). Would be great to return more info of selected shape, perhaps in OOXML/HTML form, or at least a shape ID.

Adding web (iFrame or so on) to slide from Add-ins that extend functionality
Lot of Add-ins developers wants to create extend Add-in with adding same content to slides functionality(more, than images or text, that is allowed by setSelectedDataAsync method).
So they have to use Content Add-inns, and user have to add them to slides several times (for examle vote widgets of Mentimeter app.)
Its very unconvinient!Please provide us extended the functionality of adding web pages to slides

setSelectedDataAsync with data type “HTML” and “Office Open XML” in PowerPoint
Make it possible to use setSelectedDataAsync with data type “HTML” and “Office Open XML” in PowerPoint. Currently it is only Word that can use data type “HTML” and “Office Open XML”.

Enable "Send to back" functionality for content add-ins for PowerPoint
In my testing of content add-ins for Office I have found that the "Send to back/Bring to front" z-ordering does not work between the add-in component and other content in the slide. The add-in content is always in front of "native" content in the slide in the z-order. The z-ordering works between add-in content items. This means that you are not able to mix add-in content and native content in the slide - e.g. you can't add a text block over the top of an add-in element.

Add SlideSelectionChanged event for Powerpoint in the JavaScript API
The JavaScript API for Office should be enhanced so developers have an event notifying if the current slide in the normal / edit mode is changed. This would allow for more contextual user interaction.

Add a call to change the bitmap in a picture
At present when we need to change the bitmap in a picture, we need to delete the existing picture (shape) object and then insert a new one. And when doing so we need to cop all the properties of the picture across.
Just like we can presently change the position, seize, etc. of an existing picture, provide the ability to change the bitmap.

allow slide size to be changed without modifying content size
When changing slide size in power point 2016 users are offered only two options with regards to existing content 1) maximize or 2) ensure fit. I suggest that a third option be added that does not modify the dimensions of the existing content. I currently achieve this effect by selecting my content, cutting, changing the slide size, and then pasting the content back in to the resized slide.

Add a PowerPoint object model property to read/write Kumimoji text property (Japanese-language text rotation)
When Japanese is the default editing language, PowerPoint has an UI option to apply Japanese-language text rotation, which rotates letters and digits differently . However, this property seems missing from the object model and an add-in therefore cannot know its state. Therefore, the add-in is bound to handle such text incorrectly.
Apply the rotation setting from scratch:
1) PowerPoint > File > Options > Language > Choose Editing Languages > Japanese (set as default) > OK
2) Restart PowerPoint
3) Create new empty file
4) Insert textbox
5) In textbox, write test123
6) Select textbox
7) PowerPoint > Home >…36 votes -

Allow PowerPoint API to format font without selecting.
Would be great if the PPT API gave you control over the font formatting as the Word API does. That way an add-in could create part of the presentation.with the formatting already done for you. It'd also be nice if the API could detect the font on screen without needing it to be selected.

Section control and multiple slides
It'd be great if the PPT API could give you control over slide sections and detect which section you are currently working under. And if you had control over all the slides in that section rather than just the current slide. That way if you needed a set of slide to look extremely similar you could control them all at once. Also the creation of sections and multiple slides would be great!

powerpoint chart
Ability to update the data of the worksheet of a chart in slideshow mode, without seeing the Excel worksheet opening or flashing.
We build software for displaying real-time data like a KPI on a slideshow.
With that information screen running (the slideshow) you always see the Excel worksheet flashing (by the .Activate call).The old MS Graph had that functionality. With that, we could update the data quickly without seeing something disturbing on top of the slideshow. Now with the newer Charting capabilities, this seems not to be possible without flashing or chart corruptions (E_Fail when opening afterwards).
thanks.
