FEATURES

Features of Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 for Windows

Ink Replay

Replay handwritten annotations with Ink Replay to show your explanation step by step. This is useful for diagrams, calculations and highlighting details.

Reading order

Set the reading order of objects on a slide for screen readers. This helps convey the content in a logical order to users listening to the presentation.

Color by HEX code

Specify a color using an exact hexadecimal HEX code in the color picker. This makes it easier to reproduce the desired shade and keep presentation elements consistent.

ODF 1.3 format

Open and save presentations with OpenDocument 1.3 support. This is useful for exchanging materials with other editors that use the open file format.

Templates and slide master

Create a shared layout in desktop PowerPoint with the fonts, background, and content placeholders you need. A saved template helps keep future presentations consistent.

Tables on slides

Create tables directly in a presentation and fill them with data. This format helps compare options, show a work plan or present several metrics compactly.

Speaker notes

Keep notes for each slide separate from the main content. In desktop Presenter View, the speaker sees the notes while the audience sees the presentation itself.

Export slides to PDF

Save the presentation as a PDF with a fixed layout. The recipient can view the materials without PowerPoint, and you can share a final version for reading.
