Improve powerpoint export behavior
IRON DAN
When it comes to exporting to PowerPoint I suppose it has a predefined size for the slides, which means that if my presentation in gamma has a size, when I want to export it to pptx it is cropped and it looks weird or there are parts left out, my recommendation is that they add some type of preview with a frame the size of the pptx slide so that the user can make sure that everything will be in the margins and he will not have to be exporting again and again to see the changes he is making with the size of pptx

Please make AI design PowerPoint-compatible slides from the outset. It's almost useless if the cards are all fluid, despite asking it to stick to 16:9, meaning that every slide needs completely reformatting. I might as well stop paying for Gamma and head back to PowerPoint :(

So many of us work in organisations that require use of PowerPoint. There should just be a button at the beginning of the design where you can tick that you intend to export to PowerPoint, and the card sizes should adjust themselves.

What I find useful and efficient when using GAMMA to export to powerpoint is to:
1) Create a custom template.
2) Download and Import Calabri Font or other ppt compatible FONT.
3 ) When creating your presentation always select 16:9 Ratio in WIDE.
This helped with formatting issues when working further with powerpoint and then creating SCORM 1.2 files. Hope this helps.

I support that when saving to PPTX, I expected to see a proper presentation, not a cropped one, or moments where the font is too small, making it impossible to read it even from 5-8 meters away. Exporting to PPTX is so far one of the few disadvantages that discourages the use of GAMMA

The exporting to Powerpoint is very bad. Even if you set the height, it always comes out wrong and words, images go off the edges. It reduces my ability to use Gamma. Especially for client presentations where powerpoint is mandatory to be able to use.

Hi IRON DAN have you used the page setup feature? You can set a min height

Nik Payne (Gamma design)The issue is more that one cannot specify a fixed height. If I specify a minimum of 16:9 but some slides are taller than that, say 16:10, one inch will get cut off in presentation mode in PPT.

Nik Payne (Gamma design) We need maximum height, where then it will continue onto a separate card for printing purposes, not a minimum height
