PowerPoint Designer suggests professional designs for your presentation, based on the content in your slides.  Designer is a subscription-only feature.  If you have an Office 365 subscription, the next slide shows you how it works in a new presentation.

How to use PowerPoint Designer. How it works:. 1. 

Scene 3

Start a new presentation by going to  File  >  New  >  Blank   Presentation .

On the very first slide, add a picture: Go to   Insert  >  Pictures  or  Insert  >  Online   Pictures   and choose the picture. Hint:  You need to be online when you add the picture.

When PowerPoint asks your permission to get design ideas, select   Let's Go .

Scene 4

Morph makes smooth animations and object movements in your presentation. You use two similar slides to perform the animation, but it looks to your audience like the action happens on one slide.  Play  the video on the right to see a quick example. Morph is a subscription-only feature. If you have an Office 365 subscription, you can try it yourself with the steps on the next slide.
