"Automatically show me design ideas" is a pretty visible option in Preferences (looking at my Mac here, can check Windows later, but I remember turning that off on my new laptop since I just never _use_ the suggestions and they came up when I was traveling and on slow Wi-Fi).
I also believe it can be managed by policy.
MS FTE here, I have no direct awareness of how the feature works and am not affiiliated with Office - but I'm sad that something meant to _help_ people (if this raises hackles, I don't want to see what the OP says about the accessibility checks) is used to bludgeon my colleagues publicly.
- pavon 4y agoIf that is the feature in question, neither the app itself, nor the online help shown when clicking "About PowerPoint Designer" give any indication that your slide contents data will be sent to MS.
- rcarmo 4y agoHave you actually used the thing? Again, I'm an MS FTE and not privy to the internals, but it gives you _layouts_ with your local text filled in. It's a visual template suggestion engine, it doesn't _need_ your text to work.
