Even when PDF export quality is set to high - the images on the PPT are blurry when using PDF export.  The images are fine in the PPT itself.

Choose Help>Check for Updates and in that dialog, check Join the Office Insider program to get early access to new releases. Then choose Office Insider Slow for fairly well-tested code or Office Insider Fast for advanced features with more bugs. Don't choose the latter on a computer you use to get work done.

    With microsoft on MAC version OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6 there is an issue with printing arrows from power point. They become much bigger and very ugly in my printing material for clients. Anyone aware of this? How can I solve this?

    Thanks for the help!

    I'm just glad I am not the only one having this issue (not that I wish this on anyone). I was able to fix by reverting to an older version and I have told my company IT lead to advise others to avoid the update as well. The other aggravating thing is that every day I am asked to update my PowerPoint to the new "bug ridden" version.

    I also wish to add my voice to those upset about this issue.

    My PPT does not convert well to any format for printing - PDF, JPG, PNG.

    It is shocking if the problem is lack of planning and insight by the Microsoft team. We expect better from you guys. 

    When will this be fixed, how is this possible that the only option is to revert to an older version!?
