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?

Microsoft 365 and Office | PowerPoint | For home | Windows

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:

    Hi peninasharon,

    I am 100% not an expert in this area (I posted the original question for some context), but as far as I am aware, a standard Copilot licence is free to use, whereas Copilot Pro has an associated fee. You should be able to log in to your Microsoft account (go to account.microsoft.com or find it by searching on your web browser). From there, you should be able to see your subscriptions, including if you have Copilot Pro.

    I hope that helps.

    Conor

    I'll add to the chorus. Same issues here. Copilot simply refuses to create a presentation whether based on a Word document or direct prompt.

    Froilance,

    This seems to be a common issue. I am experiencing this as well. I followed the thread and am hesitant about sharing the screenshot. Are there safer ways to do so?
