Frequently Asked Questions
Can Copilot create a PowerPoint from a Word document?
Yes. In PowerPoint, choose 'Create presentation from file' and pick a Word document from OneDrive or SharePoint. Copilot drafts a deck using your enterprise template, then you refine slides as needed.
Does Copilot in Word work with my company's templates?
Yes. Copilot drafts use the active template and styles in your document. For PowerPoint, Copilot picks up your tenant-branded template when creating new decks.
What's the difference between Draft and Chat in Word?
Draft creates new content directly in the document body. Chat is a side panel for asking questions, summarising, or doing light commands like 'turn this into a bulleted list' without rewriting the whole document.
Can Copilot edit images inside PowerPoint?
Yes. The new Designer Editor adds AI-powered image editing — improve resolution, remove backgrounds, and reposition image elements with generative AI without leaving PowerPoint.
