copilot in powerpoint
24 TopicsIssues with number of slides
Hello, I am using MS 365 Copilot to generate presentations on some reports that I have, however when I try to specify the number of slides that I would like the presentation to be, Copilot never uses this and will always generate many more slides than I asked for. Is there any specific prompting I could use to make this more consistent or any other tips? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 😄54Views2likes1CommentSuch a disappointment
One of my team members recently left, and with a critical meeting coming up next week, I had to step into the role quickly. I thought MS Copilot could assist with updating Excel and PowerPoint, but it turned out to be a mistake. I asked Copilot to replace all instances of "2024" with "2025," but it replied that it couldn’t perform the task. Next, I requested it to analyze a pivot table to identify which rows were subtotals and apply the same formula to other columns in the sheet. Instead, it suggested irrelevant adjustments to unrelated columns. I expected these tasks to be straightforward for MS software, but Copilot struggled with them. Honestly, it feels less efficient than a simple "Ctrl+F" and "Replace All."284Views2likes7CommentsCopilot Does Not Summarise Slides in Powerpoint
I have a 40 slide presentation. Some of the slides are particularly wordy, so what I was planning to do was to ask Copilot to summarise a series of slides and add that as a companion document to the presentation. When I ask it to summarise a single slide by asking it to "Summarise slide 5" it grabs a title from a previous headline slide and creates a summary based seemingly on the whole presentation. If I ask it to summarise multiple slides with "Please summarise slides 5, 7, 10...." It creates a headline for each slide but summarises the wrong slides throughout and places the wrong titles on each slide in the response. Anyone else tried summarising specific slides in a presentation?224Views2likes1CommentCan't select PDFs or other files in PPT Copilot
Hi all, When generating presentations in Powerpoint using Copilot, I'm unable to select any files other than word files when choosing a file to generate a presentation from. My copilot has updated so I can only generate these presentations from this window opposed to the sidebar: Is there anyway to ensure files other than the word documents in my onedrive appear here? Thank you 😊68Views1like4CommentsMicrosoft 365 Copilot/Personal - Copilot in PPT not properly working
Hi, Does anyone have any idea how to solve the issue that Copilot in PPT finds the document from OneDrive to create the presentation from but returns the message about SharePoint? (desktop version) As far as I understand there is no SharePoint for Personal accounts. When I tried on the web version - it does not find even the document I even copied the file link it it - no success. Solutions?
