How to add a map to Powerpoint?
Hello ArcGIS Maps for Office team
This might be an incredibly simple question but I've already wasted 10mins on it and been unable to find any documentation or videos online to help me understand how I move beyond selecting the map I want in Powerpoint, to actually adding it. I'm completely stuck on this screen with no means to move forward:
Good Morning Andrew,
Thank you for reaching out! I'd be happy to offer assistance!
Without any additional background or knowing your exact workflow at this time, I believe what I am seeing in the above screenshot is an image you captured from Excel (and Maps for Office) by selecting the 'Create Slide' option:
From here ArcGIS Maps for Office opens Microsoft PowerPoint and creates a slide containing the map image. You can resize and position the map image as you would any other image on a slide. The image contains only a representation of the map as it appears in ArcGIS Maps for Office; it does not include the map title, border, toolbar, layer cards, or navigation controls. Therefore, I think if you go back to Excel and add your content from online into the map and select 'Create slide' you should see a new image of the content you originally wanted.
Please Note:
The map contained in the slide is a static image and is no longer interactive as it was in Excel; that is, you can no longer pan or zoom. To create a dynamic map slide—a map with which you can interact during a PowerPoint presentation—see Add a dynamic map to a PowerPoint slide and Create a PowerPoint map slide from Excel for further steps.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Best,
Shannon | Product Engineer
