Copilot not creating presentations from word documents...

Anonymous

Hi, I recently purchased a subscription for copilot pro. All my office apps are up to date and I can see the copilot button in the ribbon. The issue I am having is that copilot won't create a presentation in powerpoint form a file - it has no idea what I'm talking about. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix?

Conor (and all the other folks who've been having trouble with this missing feature):

TL;DR: Those of us with regular Office subscriptions cannot use this feature.

Microsoft has done a less than stellar job of explaining the new CoPilot feature and which versions of Office get what features.

The ability to create a presentation from a Word file is only available to users who:

a) Have an ENTERPRISE license for Office 365, and

b) Whose enterprise bosses have paid the $30/month per user fee for CoPilot

The *specific* name of the required product is "Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365" as distinct from CoPilot or CoPilot Pro.

Here's a page that explains the requirements:

Hello conor, hi @everyone,

Thanks for all your patience, and for bringing this to our attention. My apologies for the delayed response.

As we all know, Copilot and Copilot Pro is still in preview mode and some features as still developing. We consulted this to our internal team and confirmed that this feature is currently not yet available. Our engineering team is currently working on it and make sure to include this on the next updates. For now, we don't have a timeline yet as to when would this be fully available but just make sure to enable auto update in Word so it will be applied to your version as soon as it's rolled out.

Thanks for your kind understanding.

Sincerely,

Froilance T.

Hello Froilance

Thanks for the information. According to my information, the link is outdated and it no longer works.

The correct link (at least as of now) is:

Create a new presentation

The statement is relatively clear: For Copilot Pro users, no matter which basic subscription (Family or other), this must be possible:

For me (Microsoft 365 Family + Copilot Pro) I have no selection "Create a presentation from (file)":

The whole problem runs through all apps, including Outlook new. This function is one of the most important within the apps, in addition to accessing Copilot via the taskbar, which does not work for me at least.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best regards

Andreas

I have the same issue. I have Microsoft 365 Personal License. and I added Microsoft Copilot Pro monthly.

I do see copilot in Powerpoint.

Create a presentation from <URL to a word document on One Drive>

Copilot replied - "I can't do that with this account. If you paste in text from another document, I can help you rewrite or design it."

I would also like to say this is a problem for me.
