PowerPoint slides, closer to the original

PowerPoint imports now preserve more of the charts, images and formatting you expect, including editable waterfall and larger charts. Search is better at finding the right deck, and you have more control over links and tables in the editor.

Highlights

  • More editable charts

    Built-in PowerPoint waterfall charts and charts with many bars or series now import as editable Riplo charts instead of empty spaces or frames.

  • Find the right deck

    Search can match words across a deck’s name, owner and slides, even when the words aren’t next to each other. The best match comes first.

  • Restyle slide links

    Change a link’s text colour, including its underline, or turn the underline off and back on from the toolbar.

  • Finer table control

    Shorten merged rows by dragging their bottom edge, or make empty rows and columns into thin spacers.
