mande1191 I have the same issue and none of the "fixes" work - Copilot says it has "drafted 11 slides and made some changes based on your doc" but slides are not created

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.

- 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
