One of the biggest pieces of feedback that we get from our Insiders and Office customers is that they want the ability to be more efficient when making their presentations in PowerPoint. Our Mac Office Insiders are very vocal and we have heard you!

This is a story about how customer feedback led directly to improvements to the popular Morph transition, providing even more control for users to be able to create complex animations using Morph.

We recently added the capability to @mention your collaborators in comments in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. @mentions makes it easier for you to notify your peers, pull them into a document, and work together wherever you need their attention.

Office Insiders Fast users now have access to some new Morph improvements which give you more control over which objects Morph. You can now specify which objects Morph across slides, which enables smoothly morphing between different types of shapes, fixing incorrect object matches, changing one image to another, and more.

Office provides a large selection of equations and symbols but it can often be difficult to find the desired symbol and add it quickly into your work. Though PowerPoint has long contained the Math Input Control, we felt that the experience would be benefited by a UI and UX upgrade that kept you in your natural workflow on the canvas. We also wanted to leverage AI improvements to the math handwriting recognition model that would save you time and produce better results.

Hello, my name is Theo and I am a Program Manager in Office and I work on experiences that help people find and create files in Office. Over the past few months our team has been busy reading and listening to the feedback you’ve given us to see how we can improve the experiences finding files in Office.

Hey Insiders!
My name is Aimee, and I’m a PM in the Office Graphics team. I’m excited to announce support for animated 3D models in PowerPoint and Word, with Excel coming very soon. This new media type can help you get creative, elevate storytelling and build highly immersive documents. To get you started, we’ve created a library of over 50 animated models available in Office. Enjoy 🙂

We are excited to let you know that Office Insider Fast users now have access to the Editor feature in PowerPoint available in build 16.0.10801.10000 or later, which offers improved proofing tools like what you see in Word and Outlook.

In response to the #1 UserVoice request in PowerPoint for Mac, back in February, we announced the capability of rendering the embedded fonts in the presentations you received. Now, we’ve completed the scenario by allowing you to embed fonts in your own presentations, so that the content fidelity is preserved on any machine and the decks can render exactly as how they were authored.

Check out a preview of this new feature in PowePoint for Windows Mobile in Version 17.10228.20003. Now you can change the font colors for hyperlinks.
