Just wondering why Powerpoint on Mac does not have keyboard shortcuts for copy and paste format (format painter)? All other Office apps on Mac and also Windows support this shortcut. On Mac it is Cmd+Shift+C and Cmd+Shift+V.

    My guess is the reason is low demand. The current philosophy is "less (clutter) is more (useful)."

    Microsoft has a feature suggestion site for PowerPoint for Mac here:

    I did a quick search and did even see that anyone has requested this functionality, so I encourage you to post your request in the feature request forum. Encouraging others to vote for your request would help get attention paid to it.

    Please use the send-a-smile/send-a-frown buttons in PowerPoint to provide this feedback directly to the team.

    That does not really attempt to address the question I asked.
