    Using a desktop PC / Mac doesn't ensure that you are using the full desktop version of Office. If your school didn't give you a full license then you probably are not. To check, look at the top left of your ribbon - If you see 9 dots in a square then you are NOT on the full version.

    Hi Rajbir,

    Thanks for writing us here in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you're having trouble finding the "Format Shape" feature in your PowerPoint app. This feature is mainly supported to the desktop version of PowerPoint either Windows or Mac devices, not on mobile versions of PowerPoint like Android, iOS, tablet, or iPad.

    Allow me to ask the following.

    1. May we confirm if you are using PowerPoint app on your iPhone or iPad device?
    2. May we know what Office license are you using where PowerPoint is part of? Is it Microsoft 365 Personal/Family, Business, Enterprise, or Education?

    Please note that the “Format Shape” feature is not available in the web and mobile versions of PowerPoint including iPad, iPhone, android, and tablets. The web and mobile version have limited features compared to the desktop version and it doesn't support this specific feature you are interested about. Consider using the desktop app version of PowerPoint if you need to use the Format Shape in your presentation.

    In desktop version of PowerPoint, the Shape Format button in PowerPoint is located in the Drawing Tools tab. If you don't see the Drawing Tools tab, it may be hidden. To show it, click on a shape or object in your slide, and the Drawing Tools tab should appear. The Shape Format button is located in the ribbon under the Drawing Tools tab.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have question or clarifications and I would be more than happy to address it on my next response.

    Sincerely,

    Froilance T.
