PowerPoint formatting marks

Is there anyway that I can display formatting marks in PowerPoint, as is possible in Word and Publisher? (with the SHOW ALL shortcut)

There really must be a way as PP is an app that requires precise placement of objects and text so surely there is some way of seeing precisely how your page is constructed and laid out....?

    Hi MSF_183,

    Since formatting marks are not available in PowerPoint by now, we suggest submitting your feedback in PowerPoint UserVoice via voting for this idea. Providing your feedback is the best way to let related team hear your voice, which will help better our products and services.

    Regards,

    Joshua

    This is a very powerful and important feature.  I use it constantly in Word.  Please add this to PowerPoint.  Soon.

    Joshua is not a PowerPoint developer, so asking him to add or fix features will not be much help.  But follow his link to upvote the existing post on UserVoice requesting this feature.  The PPT developers DO keep an eye on UserVoice requests and upvotes. 

    And Joshua, thanks for providing a link directly to the correct request.
