Copy and paste dimensions in Powerpoint

Select an object, copy its dimensions (width, height, and location on the slide), and apply these dimensions to another object. Especially helpful if you want to align objects across several pages.

Installation

Currently only Mac is supported

  • Close Powerpoint.

  • Download the manifest.xml file and place it in the following folder:

    /Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Powerpoint/Data/Documents/wef

    If this folder does not exist, please create it. This process is called side-loading.

  • Open a fresh instance of Powerpoint, go to "Home", then "Add-ins", the add-in should be available under "Developer Add-ins".

To do

  • Visual indication that clicking on "copy" and "paste" was successful
  • Vibe coding in Powerpoint: link textbox to LLM, ask it to produce a typescript function implementing the ask & then directly perform the action (-> not all functionality of Powerpoint is exposed via the office.js library, e.g., the corner radius of rounded rectangles)
  • Rounded boxes change the corner radius when resized. Copy paste the border radius from one box to the other (-> this seems only to be possible via VBA or via unzipping the ppt and modifying the resulting XML)
