Creating PowerPoint presentation from Word file via Copilot
Thanks for your quick reply. Neither of these options are resolving the situation. What is weird is that if I ask Copilot to draft a presentation on a topic (not from a file), I do see the presentation. It's only when I ask Copilot to draft a presentation from a file that I don't see it.
I will reach out to our internal IT support team.
Have a nice day!
sylvie1965 I have the exact same problem, would be interested to hear your resolution.
Sajjad I have a license from my work and I do see the prompts to create a presentation. I can create a presentation about a particular subject, but when I try to create a presentation from an existing word file in my one-drive, copilot creates an outline and then says that it has created slides - however, the slides do not appear.

- I already have this license.
- Full Functionality Requires Copilot License: You need a Copilot for Microsoft 365 license, likely a work license based on the wording, to access all the features ("full options") for converting documents into presentations.
Here's a simpler way to understand it:
- With any Microsoft 365 subscription, you might be able to use basic conversion features in Copilot for PowerPoint.
- To unlock the full capabilities of converting documents to presentations within Copilot, you'll need a separate Copilot for Microsoft 365 license, likely provided by your workplace. c
- Ok, then I would contact MS-support. In the web version, the chat support function is easier to access via Help.
mande1191 thanks for your input but I was using the desktop application. And I have just tried it with the web application and I have the same issue. 😞
I don't want to get your hopes up too much. But are you using the web version or the desktop version? If you are using the web version, it could be that the browser (Edge?) is blocking something. Further research could be done in this direction.
i have raised it up with our internal IT. But it does work for some of my colleagues. So, it is probably a question of settings. Will keep you posted. If you figure it out on your side, let me know!!
