Hi Akshay, that's great to hear. Thanks for your message. The Mac version definitely does have some considerable differences when Microsoft could have quite easily made it the same. Some features are quite small and simple, but have been missing from the Mac version for years.

There is a good article about the Quick Access Toolbar on a Mac here.

www.brightcarbon.com/blog/powerpoint-mac-quick-access-toolbar/

It explains the differences and gives you some info on some of the features that aren't available on the Mac version and therefore cannot be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Here is a list of what I added on the PC:

1.Paste - Keep Text Only
2.Past Special
3.Change picture with local picture
4.Save
5.Undo
6.Redo
7.Font Size (dropdown)
8.Font Colour
9.Shape Fill
10.Shape Outline
11.Flip Horizontal
12.Flip Vertical
13.Format Painter
14.Animation Painter
15.Size and Position
16.Text Box
17.Rectangle
18.Oval
19.Line Spacing
20.Change Case
21.Edit Points
22.Align Left (Text Justification)
23.Align Centre (Text Justification)
24.Align Right (Text Justification)
25.Align Left (Object)
26.Align Centre (Object)
27.Align Right (Object)
28.Align Top
29.Align Middle
30.Align Bottom
31.Distribute Horizontally
32.Distribute Vertically
33.Crop (dropdown)
34.Send To Back
35.Align (dropdown)
36.Format Object
37.Reset Picture and Size
38.Eyedropper
39.Arrange (dropdown)
40.Send Backwards
41.Zoom
42.Crop (16x9)
43.New Slide (dropdown)
44.Selection Pane (view)
45.Paragraph (settings)
46.Merge Shapes
47.Refresh data
48.Paste (dropdown)

There are a lot there which is fine on the PC, but probably won't look that good on the Mac where you can only choose the bar to appear above the ribbon. So I would recommend picking 10-20 that you might use a lot, especially if they are a number of clicks away. Let me know how you get on. Thanks, Alan,
