Macs are not perfect even though one’s productivity is much higher with one. When things go wrong – they can sometimes really go wrong.
Microsoft Powerpoint Window Not Showing Up Mac Computer
One customer had issues with a critical branding font that installs fine on everyone else’s Macbook but not theirs. I now know more about fonts that I ever wanted to know especially how Microsoft fonts fit into the Mac picture. I researched dozens of websites each adding a piece to the puzzle. Here we go …

- There are 4 font stores on your Mac
- user fonts stored in /Users/youraccount/Library/Fonts
- computer wide (all accounts) fonts in /Library/Fonts
- system fonts in /System/Library/Fonts (never ever touch these)
- Microsoft Office fonts in /Library/Fonts/Microsoft (ahhh I see)
- ONLY TTF fonts work for Office – or so MS claims
- To install fonts for MS Office 2011 – don’t double click them – this installs them naturally in the user fonts
- instead – start up Font Book (use the spotlight or magnifying glass to find it quick in the upper right of your Mac)
- drag them from your Finder onto Computer (under the Collection section at the left of the Font Book app)
- A reboot triggers the Mac Font store to sync with Office. Don’t forget to reboot before ripping your hair out
- Adding fonts to the user fonts will never show up in Microsoft Office products
- Don’t assume that because a font works in lets say Word, that it will appear in Excel – it might once the cache catches up
- Microsoft font cache file can be delete so it will force a refresh – but it can be in 2 places – check both. Microsoft moved it for Office 2011 for Mac for some computers different than others
- Lion? goto finder and hold the option key and …
- click the menu Go->Library or type in a folder /Library by choosing the Go->Go to Folder option then navigate eventually to /Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011
- not there? Microsoft moved them in later releases of Office 2011 to /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011 – even MS’ articles are incorrect!
- also you might need to look in /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Preferences/Office 2011
- when you re-start work or Excel you will now see a task completing to rebuild the cache files and if you observe the location above you will see new cache files
- Here is a link to completely remove Office on a mac and is the final puzzle piece that allowed me to solve this riddle http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
If you want to send your presentation to someone but they don't have PowerPoint for Mac or PowerPoint for Windows, you can export your presentation in a different format, such as a picture format or a PDF file, so the recipient can view the slides.
If you use Microsoft PowerPoint on your Mac, you can save the presentations you create and open them in Keynote, Apple’s presentation app. It’s a handy feature to use in case you can’t. 2020-3-19 When i open PowerPoint, it doesn't show up on the screen. If I click on 'Mission Control', PowerPoint show up floating off to the upper left of the reduced background screen. If i drag it onto the screen, it just slips back and if i click on the PP window, the screen goes back to. Ok, I did everything i could do make my OTF font appear in Powerpoint for my Mac, (It showed up as installed in my Font Book) No luck. Until I read somewhere to go to the dropdown box in Powerpoint, and, if I did not see my font there, to simply type it in. As simple as that. But I had to go bald first. Hope this helps someone out there! Download Microsoft PowerPoint for macOS 10.13 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. A qualifying Office 365 subscription is required for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. The PowerPoint app gives you access to the familiar tool you already know.
