@Peter Laubach

• How are you adding the PowerPoint file to the board?
• What “presentation mode” are you referring to? Are you referring to Miro’s Presentation Mode or are you somehow activating a PowerPoint presentation mode?
• Can you provide screenshots, so we can get a better sense of what “messed up? means to you?

Hi Robert,

• by using “upload from my device” or “upload from saved files”
• in Miro presentation mode, but also when not using it 
• here is a screenshot

• Thank you!

@Peter Laubach - Yes, Miro’s PowerPoint reader is definitely not perfect and there will be a number of objects that it can’t read.

Two possible workarounds (the first one likely to fail):

1. you could try extracting/splitting the PowerPoint into individual slides:

   

2. And depending on how many slides you have, you should be able to copy the slides in PowerPoint (from the thumbnail view) and paste the onto the board (using Ctrl/Cmd + V) and they will become .png image files:
    

   

I would also suggest that you report this as feedback to the Miro Customer Support team by creating a ticket via this special form. You could include a link to this post in your ticket and if the content of your PowerPoint is not confidential, attach it to the ticket as well.

Hi @Peter Laubach ,

maybe you can try it with an other font - f.e. Arial

What is the result?

Can you check this and tell us: Is there any difference?

Hi @mlanders 

I tried Arial and everything was fine.

So our standard font “Segoe UI” caused the problem.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Robert Johnson 

I will open a ticket with Miro, as you recommended, and will let you know their answer.

Thanks again.
