How can I activate the designer feature in PowerPoint for my presentation design?

To activate the Designer feature in PowerPoint, you’ll need to follow these simple steps:

  • Open your PowerPoint application and click on the “File” option located at the top-left corner of your PowerPoint interface.
  • Choose “Options” from the drop-down menu that appears. This will open a new window titled “PowerPoint Options”.
  • In the PowerPoint Options window, choose the “General” tab from the list on the left.
  • Scroll down to find the “Office Intelligence Services” section.
  • Here, you’ll find an option titled “Enable Services”. Make sure this box is checked. If it isn’t, click the box to enable it.
  • Click “OK” to close the PowerPoint Options window. Now, your Designer feature should be activated.

After activation, whenever you want to use the Designer feature for your slides, simply select the slide you want to design, go to the “Design” tab in your PowerPoint interface, and click on “Design Ideas”. PowerPoint will then generate several design suggestions for your slide.

Remember, Designer is a part of the Office Intelligence Services and requires an active internet connection to work. Also, this feature is only available for Office 365 subscribers.
