Hey Insiders,
I’m Eric, a Program Manager on the PowerPoint team. Ever get stuck starting a presentation from scratch? The blank slide can be quite intimidating. We’re excited to announce a new feature called QuickStarter, which is available today in Insider Fast of PowerPoint 2016. PowerPoint QuickStarter solves this problem by building an outline for you with suggested sections, talking points, and properly attributed Creative Commons images to help get you started. It doesn’t create a finished presentation for you (sorry students, you’ll still have to do your homework), but gives you a jump start to filling in your content.
Be one of the first ones to try PowerPoint QuickStarter today.
It’s easy as 1, 2, 3:
How to try QuickStarter
Launch PowerPoint or go to File > New and choose QuickStarter next to the themes.

Hi Nick, it's something we've thought about and would be very cool, but currently not in the plan.
Very cool, will it be supporten by more languages?
This looks like a fantastic feature. Will there be the option for organisations to create their own quickstarter templates for staff to pick from?
