Photos is now on my MacBook Pro with the latest operating system updates. I have one photo library. I cannot access my pictures from Powerpoint to add them to slides. I have tried to enable my one library but the option is not possible to access when I find it in preferences.
MacBook Pro, iOS 8.3
Hi Dujjy,
Unfortunately, it looks like Powerpoint needs an update to be compatible with the new Photos app on OS X. It is Office 2011 after all. You can use Photos to export the pictures you want to to. Just drag them to the desktop. Then, from Powerpoint, choose Insert > Picture > Picture from file > select your exported picture. You can also just use Keynote. 🙂

Unfortunately using Keynote is not an option when you work at a place that does not have software compatible with it. Yes, this is the only option I was able to come up with . Hoping I was missing something
Dujjy,
I just checked the Office 2016 preview and it does seem to work with Photos. They even seem to have made some improvements that I suggested from the first preview version.
How can I enable Photos to add pictures to Powerpoint?
