That export to the PowerPoint would be very useful, thank you 🙌🏽

[kirstyhepworth]

Love that feature where you transform it to a powerpoint that is the most useful feature

Thanks for the video! Very helpful - I wanted to see how it really looks like before purchasing and this video was so helpful. Personally, the only thing that I don't like about 2021 is the memo format. I just prefer simple memo style and automatic save without clicking the plane button - :) I wonder if they give us this option (Simple memo style) in the Settings.

Thank you very much for making these videos Mike! I plan on showing them in my team meetings so ambassadors can improve on interactions with admins when getting requests for help on features within the desktop apps it self.

I am glad to finally see some updates for Word. I almost started to think that Teams was the only app to get new updates this year. I am really excited about the improved read out-loud and dictation features. It seem like significant progres was made there. Thank you for that.

Thank you so much for this beautiful video but unfortunately the transform option was not listed under my own file

[citadelofwinds]

Excellent presentation. Short and sweet, and selected such useful features that could become major timesavers.

export to ppt looks much better than the clunky way you could do it before. Nice.

As a non-English speaker, I love the tool Text Prediction. Like that, there is less mistake in my sentences when I write in English

[Prof.BARAK]

Many thanks for sharing! Are these new features applicable for Mac users as well?

[ArjunDas]

This video is going to help me a lot!!. I tried all the options and the one option that will save me a ton of work and time, converting to PPT, is missing in my office 365!. I updated the app and did everything but cannot see the option under export (only see PDF). PLEASE HELP ME OUT! :(

[TH-ON]

Thanx Mike for your great work. I was searching for this and now I got it :)

[wncjan]

Will the read aloud and dictate functions be available in other languages?

[joeygo]

Wow! Thanks Mike, by any chance do you know if these features are available on Mac as well?

[ricardoantunes]

Thanks for sharing this useful tips! In my case, I have just updated the office 365 (enterprise license) but the export tool "word to ppt " does not appear. Any suggestion? Thanks!!

That dark mode features delayed my submission because it was turned on but I didn't turn it on. I had to search for fix so that my docs won't invert color.

[Dragoninja]

Is this all Part of Windows 11??? Mr. Tholfsen, are you going to do more Videos on Excel & Powerpoint???

[paulwain]

Really useful tips - thanks for sharing.
