Cannot insert SVG PowerPoint

Question

Hi, I'd like to paste and edit SVG images in PowerPoint (as described here). But it doesn't seem to work, I get the following error message: "the picture can't be displayed". I am using MS Office 2016 version 16.0.6959.2117 on Windows 7.

Answer 1

Looks like your Admin has set you (all) to deferred channel updates For a company this makes some sense as it avoids people having very different features and maybe unstable updates. For you though it means you will have to wait for new features.

There you go:

Answer 3

T%he version number doesn't actually tell you what version you have. 365 subscription can have SVG support (I think a later version than 6859). Office 2016 non subscription won't have SVG support. I would post a screen shot of File Account

Answer 4

Hi, I am using MS Office 2016 version 16.0.6959.2117 on Windows 7. This is happening in Powerpoint, Word and Outlook. Otherwise everything works perfectly fine. I am not sure what troubleshooting steps you are referring to.

Thanks in advance.
