BES Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi, Could you add feature to export Affinity Publishers sheets to Microsoft Powerpoint, this feature will really helps!!! Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderings Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The big question here is why? Publisher is not presentation software and Powerpoint is not page layout despite how many files I get sent to me made in Powerpoint. If you really want to design for Powerpoint you could make your page in Publisher the correct aspect ration, think standard is still 1024 x 768. Design your pages and export as PDF and just plop them in Powerpoint. Of course you cannot do any custom transitions for text elements or images, but again that is why you should set up in Powerpoint if you need that.

Fixx Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 4 hours ago, wonderings said: The big question here is why? Probably because Powerpoint layout and typography tools are weak. But yes, I do not think users would flock to use Publisher to produce Powerpoint shows. Feels like niche feature. Though nifty one, yes.. BTW, you can copy paste stuff from Publisher to Powerpoint quite succesfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartstreasures Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Why? Why would an Affinity Publisher user want to export as a PowerPoint file?... What a pompous question. Here are just a FEW reasons... 1. Client requests it - It's easier to create 'to be published' documents/pages in Affinity but client may not have Affinity and want to use PP. 2. Making PLR documents - Buyers may want to be able to EDIT said PLR but, again, not have Affinity and prefer PP. 3. I may want to sell PP printables; because many if not most people have PP, but want to CREATE then in Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNKLN Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 In combination with Photo and Designer it would give you access to image manipulation and design capabilities not available in PowerPoint (or Keynote, if you're a fan of that application, like me).

MikeTO Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I understand why you'd rather create slides in Affinity Publisher, I've been forced to use PPT for decades and loathe it, but I believe that Publisher is the wrong tool for the job and it would be frustrating when your hard work didn't look the same in PPT as it did in Publisher. There are so many Publisher features that PPT doesn't support which could change the appearance of the slide. If you look at the list of existing export formats for Publisher, every one of them supports all of Publisher's features, some of them only because the entire page is being rasterized. The apps have different text composition engines, different hyphenation algorithms, different orphan/widow control, etc. Line and paragraph breaks would wind up being different so you'd never know if your text was going to fit (or be scaled) until you opened it in PPT. On the other hand, I can understand how you'd accept this end product because you'd rather still start your work in Publisher and then finish it in PPT just because you're more productive in Publisher, but imagine the complaints from others who expect their work to appear perfectly in PPT. garrettm30 1 Quote Download a free PDF manual for Publisher 2.3 from this forum - now includes text formatting and styles Affinity 2.3.0 for macOS Sonoma 14.1.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
