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.

    Hi Emmanuel,

    For some unexpected problems, screenshots in your post doesn't display properly. Could you re-upload them?

    Meanwhile, is the issue related to all ppt files or specific one? If it's convenient, I have sent you a private messageto collect the file from which you capture screenshots. We want to test with the same file from our side.

    Moreover, please click Apple icon on the top bar>About This Mac>let us know the current version of your Mac OS.

    Best regards,

    Tim
