    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.
