Hi,

I have Microsoft® PowerPoint für Mac Version 16.109 (26051019) (365 Abo).

I try to insert speech bubbles but there are no speech bubbles to integrate.

Normally they should appear in the area „Legenden“ in the Insert pop up. The pop up works and

shows different forms, but no speech bubbles.

Where are they?

Hi @Ralf Schulte

Based on the information provided, I understand that you are using PowerPoint for Mac (Version 16.109) and are unable to find the speech bubbles (callouts) under the "Legenden" (Callouts) section in the Insert menu, even though other shapes are appearing correctly.

To help me investigate this further and provide a solution, could you please provide a few more details?

-Are the speech bubbles you are looking for similar to the ones shown in the image below?User's image

So if you go to PowerPoint on the web, do you see this feature in the Insert menu?

Could you please share a screenshot of what your "Legenden" (Callouts) menu looks like in a private message? This will help me see if the icons are missing or just moved.

-When did this issue start? For example, did it happen immediately after an Office update or a macOS update?

-Did you download PowerPoint from the Mac App Store or directly from the Microsoft official website?

Please let me know the details above so I can assist you better!
