Is copilot capable of rebuilding an EXISTING PowerPoint presentation based on sample PowerPoint

I need the new power point to follow up the exact format (font, color format, allopathically format on each slide (need to go through all content and make it in apophatically format similar to reference sample format)using the below prompt and no luck: 

Please transform the “5_23_25.pptx” presentation to match the exact formatting and layout used in “week 2.pptx”, following these instructions:

Slide Format & Layout:

  • Use a clean blank slide layout (not a master with multiple columns).
  • Insert a header at the top of each slide:
    • Text: "Amer
    • Font: Calibri, 45pt, Bold
    • Color: Dark Navy (RGB 0, 32, 96)
    • Position: Centered near the top

Content Box Placement:

  • Add a text box within the slide, fully inside the dashed layout box area used in Week 2.
  • Use these dimensions to match that area:
    • Left: 0.6 inches
    • Top: 1.3 inches
    • Width: 11.7 inches
    • Height: 5.1 inches

Customer Entry Formatting:

  • Format each entry like this:
    • Customer Name: Bold, Calibri 15pt, Red (RGB 192, 0, 0)
    • Description: Regular, Calibri 15pt, Black
  • Example:

    vbnet
    Copyedit
    Amazon Fit and Overflow Handling:
  • Use real font size and word-wrapping to dynamically calculate how many entries fit on each slide.
  • Do NOT allow text to overflow below the dashed box or extend to the right edge.
  • Create a new slide automatically when the next entry won’t fit.

Content Sorting:

  • Alphabetize all customer entries by client name.
  • Do not alter the order or content of slides titled:
    • “RD Desi
    • “Customer Seg
  • These two slides must be preserved exactly as they are.

Final Output:

  • Ensure all slides follow the same format, spacing, and alignment as “week 2.pptx”.
  • All text must be readable, aligned, and neatly fit inside the layout area — no cutting off or overflow.

  • Copilot can't fully rebuild an existing PowerPoint to exactly match another sample file’s layout and formatting. While it can help with content, rewording, and general design, it doesn't support detailed layout matching like exact font sizes, positions, color codes, or creating new slides when content overflows. For this level of control, you'd need to manually adjust the slides or use a script or third-party tool. Copilot just isn’t built for that kind of precise formatting work yet.
