This feature can save you many time when creating presentations.

Note: This feature is only available to PowerPoint on Windows users who have a Copilot license and are running Version 2502 (Build 18526.20144). Also, the feature is currently only supported in English (US). Support for additional languages will be released soon.

How to Create PowerPoint Slides from Documents with Copilot

1. Open PowerPoint and prepare your document

• Launch PowerPoint on Windows > Open an existing presentation or create a new one.
• choose the Copilot button above the slide (or open the Home tab > New Slide with Copilot ).

2. Enter command or upload reference

• In the Copilot dialog box, enter a description of the slide content (for instance, " Create a Q1 earnings report summary slide ").
• To reference a file, choose Reference a file > Select a document from your computer (Word, PDF…).

Tip: If the document is long, specify a specific section (for instance, "Use data from pages 5-7 in the report").

3. Refine and perfect

• Click Send (right arrow) to have Copilot create a draft slide.
• Edit directly, ask Copilot to rewrite the content (" Make it shorter "), or create a new slide with a different suggestion.

Important Note

• Currently, Copilot does not support detailed formatting requests such as fonts, colors, backgrounds, or inserting custom images.
• To optimize, be clear and focus on 1-2 main topics in each command.

Hope you can take advantage of Copilot to build professional presentations faster and smarter!
