PowerPoint for Mac vs PowerPoint for Windows James Robinson 17 Feb 2017 If you’re thinking of using PowerPoint for Mac, there are a few subtle differences compared to the Windows version. Here’s what to expect. PowerPoint has always been synonymous with Windows. It’s owned by Microsoft after all, who understandably develop software for their own platform firstor at least so you’d think. Actually, it’s a little known fact that PowerPoint was originally designed for Mac – or rather the. PowerPoint was still called Presenter back then; it wasn’t until 1987 that the presentation software would acquire its current name, and the rest is geek history. The point of this brief software lesson is to show that PowerPoint and Mac have been tight since day one.

But if you’re accustomed to creating your PowerPoint slides on a PC, you’ll notice a few differences the first time you attempt the same feat on a Mac. It’s still PowerPoint, but not as you know it. PowerPoint for Mac – what’s different? Anyone whose job sees them regularly switching between Office for Mac and for Windows will be only too aware of the differences between the two platforms. Of the various tools that come bundled with Microsoft Office, Word, Excel and Outlook reveal greater contrasts between the two operating systems. PowerPoint’s differences are more subtle, but they’re there alright if you know where to look. Regardless of which platform came first, Windows is by far the leading operating system for PowerPoint, setting the gold standard against which others are judged. With Mac, there are a handful of unique features that don’t surface in the Windows build. Not enough to cause you to ditch your PC for a shiny new Macbook perhaps, but the differences are there. For example, there are certain Presenter View elements that operate differently on Mac plus the addition of AppleScript and automator support. ![]() The most notable extra feature that Mac has is Dynamic Reorder. This is used for adjusting layered objects on a slide, and it’s a feature that’s been integrated well on Mac, making it easy to select specific backgrounds, images and other elements. PowerPoint for Mac – what’s missing? If you’re a casual PowerPoint user, you might not notice any tangible differences between Windows and Mac, but advanced users will certainly spot what’s absent. PowerPoint for Mac doesn’t have Animation Painter* for example, a nifty time-saving tool that allows you to apply animations to other objects within a presentation. Nor does Mac have the ability to enter correctly formatted equations; video or animation triggers; and video trimming. As a consequence, these functions will open as view only in Mac. In other words, you can see animation triggers etc in action but you can only edit them on PC. *Update January 3rd 2018: PowerPoint for Mac does now have Animation Painter. For most people, these aren’t deal breakers, but there is one feature that’s a major omission from Mac and that’s. We’ve previously discussed some of the cool things you can do with this clever PowerPoint tool which is ideal for honing in on sections, slides and summaries. For now Zoom is available for PC only, which is frustrating if you’re forced to transfer from PC to Mac while editing a presentation. It’s likely that this feature will be rolled out for Mac in a future Office update but for now Zoom is PC only. Other minor differences between PowerPoint for Mac and PC If you’ve ever tried opening the same Microsoft Office file on PC and Mac, you may have noticed that it looks different. Often, these differences are so subtle that you can’t quite put a finger on them; you just know that something’s changed. In many cases, this is because you’re seeing the colours represented differently on screen due to the way Macs and PCs interpret these.
