Text exports to powerpoint as line by line instead of one big text box
J
Jenny O'Malley
Even line breaks have their own box.
This makes editing in powerpoint very difficult.
I'm in the process of rolling out Gamma to my team, and having formatting issues like this (as well as other exporting issues like inconsistent font sizing, boxes changing size, databases turning into boxes, etc.) makes the platform lose so much credibility.
Please can you improve powerpoint export formatting quickly, otherwise I can't see full-time adoption happening

Hey Jenny O'Malley, thanks for the super detailed writeup (and the screenshot). Totally get how the line-by-line text boxes and inconsistent sizing would make PPT editing a pain, especially if you’re trying to roll this out to a team. I’ll pass this along to the export folks.
Quick couple questions so we can pinpoint it:
1) Does this happen on every deck export or only certain cards/layouts (like text-heavy pages vs mixed media)?
2) If you’re up for it, what version of PowerPoint are you opening it in (desktop Mac/Windows, or web), and does it look different between them?
