Hey Insiders!
My name is Aimee, and I'm a PM in the Office Graphics team. I’m excited to announce support for animated 3D models in PowerPoint and Word, with Excel coming soon. This new media type can help you get creative, elevate storytelling and build highly immersive documents. To get you started, we've created a library of over 50 animated models available in Office. Enjoy :)
Sory, but this does not work on my computer--I have the latest programs and do a lot of flyers and newsletters. Wish it could work on mine.

Support for animated 3D models has begun rolling out to Windows PC Office 365 Subscribers on Version 1809 (Build 16.0.102827), and support for macOS Office 365 Subscribers is coming very soon. This feature is not available in Office Perpetual 2019 or 2016.
Getting Started
STEP 1
Firstly, you'll need to insert an animated model.
Navigate to Insert Tab > 3D Models > From Online Sourcesto peruse Office's library of 3D models.
In the dialogue box, click the All Animated Models category. Insert any that catches your eye. There's novel characters, education-focused examples, realistic animals and many more to pick from:
Tip: All animated models are badged with the ‘running man’ to easily identify:
Alternatively, insert your own animated model if you have one, via the Insert Tab > 3D Models > From File .
Office accepts .gltf and .fbx formats for animated models. Currently only skeletal animations are supported, with morph and node animation support coming very soon. Let us know via Send a Smile in the Office app if there are any issues with your insert.
STEP 2
Your inserted model will now animate in the editor!
STEP 3
To Play/Pause the animation, right-click on the model and select Play/Pause on the Floatie:
Tip: To quickly play/pause, select the model and hitspacebar
STEP 4
Animated models can have multiple animation scenes. To explore these, select the model and navigate to the Format Tab > Scenes:
