I get this error every time I try to open PowerPoint. I have tried everything I can find on the internet and nothing is working. This error does not come up when using Excel or Word. Any guidance is appreciated!Screenshot 2024-02-26 at 10.45.46 am

    Hi @Kiara Masters

    This is caused by the incompatibility between the MathType add-in and PowerPoint for Mac.

    Have you tried to uninstall MathType first, then locate to /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office365/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/PowerPoint, remove "MathType.bundle"?

    If this does not work, I suggest you consider contacting MathType support to check if they can help.
