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:

    I have a both an Office 365 license and Copilot pro license as well and am running into the same issue. I tried adding the document into word and then utilizing the word doc's link, but that did not work either. I am having trouble with just getting past the second step where I cannot select create a presentation with a file. It is not appearing.

    I'm confused... I have both an Office 365 license AND a Copilot Pro License. What do I need to do to get this functionality working? Is there some seperate Office version called "Copilot for Office 365" out there. Because that would make zero sense. I pay for Office 365 and I pay for Copilot Pro. This should work.

    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?
