When I click on a Powerpoint slide to copy to my clipboard Anki doesn’t recognize the slide being in my clipboard. I am trying to occlude the image using Image Occlusion Enhanced
(https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1374772155). My Mac recognizes the copied slide when I paste it into Word but not for Anki. Additionally, Anki can copy and paste jpg, jpeg files but it cannot pick up the Powerpoint slide.

What part(s) of the slide did you have selected to copy, though? Was it an image? Or did you take a screenshot of it?
It’s not too surprising that 2 Office apps – Powerpoint and Word – could make their own conversion from slide to doc while another app wouldn’t be able to. In Word, you might also just be pasting the design and text boxes as graphic elements, not a unified picture.
That’s correct. Anki can’t convert anything else to an image when taking it in.

Try taking a partial screenshot of your PC screen.
- [ Mac ] Shift + Command (⌘) + 4
- [ Windows ] Windows + Shift + S
yea I know how to take screenshot. I used to be able to copy and paste ppt slides but i guess a new update happened that has changed it. On a windows computer I’m still able to copy and paste the ppt slide into anki but no longer on mac (i have to take screenshot and it just takes longer)
You may have more luck opening the slides in LibreOffice.
