The late nights. The big pitch. The interview. The idea you couldn’t wait to share.

PowerPoint has been there for a lot of moments, big and small. And with Copilot, we’re excited about what comes next: helping you tell your story, your way.

What story will you tell next?

We're making tables easier to use in PowerPoint, so you can get your ideas into slides with the fewest steps.

One click to insert, one click to add a row or column, and one click to get to move or delete commands, right on the table. Now rolling out to Microsoft 365 Insiders for Windows and Mac.

Small improvements can make a big difference in your everyday work.

I joined Troy Chollar, Sandra Johnson, and Nolan Haims, on The Presentation Podcast to talk about making PowerPoint faster and easier to use.

More time for your ideas and the stories you want to tell. Give it a listen!
