Slow Editing PPT in Outline Mode

Dear All,

I prefer to structure / set up/ write a PPT in "Out Line" mode.

However, the editing is very slow, meaning that there is a lag /long latency between typing and seeing the characters appear on the screen.

Anyone similar experience? Any suggestions how to fix it (moving away from Apple is not an option ;-) )

Running "365" on Mac MBP

Thanks, Alex

    Hi @AJB ,
    Did this problem only appear in PowerPoint? How about other applications with Outline Mode?
    You can install the latest updates for PowerPoint and check the result.
    I also suggest you completely uninstalling Office for Mac and check the result:
