    Bing will be a great source of help: beginners guide to creating a Powerpoint presentation

    Artificial intelligence will also be a great source of help. Use this prompt, which I tried on ChatGPT with terrific results:

    Hello harneet dhindsa,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    I understand that you are experiencing difficulty working on a PowerPoint presentation. However, based on the information provided, it is not yet clear whether the issue is related to opening PowerPoint, creating a presentation, editing slides, or another specific feature.

    To help me better understand the situation and provide the most appropriate guidance, could you please provide some additional details?

    • Are you unable to open PowerPoint or create a new presentation?
    • Are you using the PowerPoint desktop application or PowerPoint for the web?
    • Do you receive any error messages? If so, please share the exact message or a screenshot.
    • What steps are you taking when the issue occurs, and what happens after you try to create the presentation?
    • Does the issue occur with all presentations or only with a specific file?

    Any additional details about what happens when you try to create the presentation would also be helpful.

    I look forward to your response.
