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.

    I don't think Microsoft understands how they really just messed me up. I have 3-4 lecture chapters a day to give to the to present to the class and NOW I cannot print them because everytime I print the powerpoints the fonts change and the sentences conform into each other so no one can read them.

    1. This has wasted a lot of paper. 
    2. It has wasted a lot of ink.
    3. Wasted money.

    And the biggest thing...

    1. It has wasted my my fellow classmates, instructors, and my time.

    This is a summer session course, which goes EXTREMELY fast and these past 3 days has really messed me and my students up. Please get this fix immediately.

    Hi Sheen,

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro Retina and have the same issues with fuzzy lo res PDFs from Excel and PowerPoint.

    I've already installed PowerPoint 16.14, so how do I install an older version 16.13 if I have a newer version? I downloaded it from the link in this discussion and it looked like it installed however when I open PowerPoint, it still says 16.14. 

    Can you post specific instructions for how to install an older version if we have the latest version installed?

    Thanks,

    Sarah
