• OT: More Microsoft idiocy: PowerPoint can't manage to rename slide layo

    From Alan@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 24 13:56:29 2023
    At least, not PowerPoint for Mac, version 16.75 (23070901).

    I just created a PowerPoint template for a client; set up some new slide layouts based on old ones, fixed some formatting errors, and here is
    just another way Microsoft shows their incompetence:

    I renamed a layout to make its intent more clear, and in the "Slide
    Mast" view, sure enough: the name you see when you hover over that
    layout is the new name ("No Content or Client Logo" in this case)...

    ...but go to select that layout from "New Slide" or from "Layout
    [select]"... ...and the name of the layout is wrong!

    It's an old name for the layout!

    This is a piece of software that has existed since 1987, people (and was originally a piece of Mac software from a company called Foresight)...

    ...and they can't get something this basic right?
