You can create a PowerPoint presentation from a story produced using the data storytelling feature. By default, the exported presentation will have a slide size of 960 by 540 pixels with a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, and a resolution of 220 dots per inch.
See: Story.
You can choose from three pre-configured slide sizes and aspect ratios for your PowerPoint slides. A custom option is also available. These are the pre-configured slide sizes:
| Aspect ratio | Width (pixels) | Height (pixels) | |
| Standard (4:3) | 4:3 | 960 | 720 |
| Widescreen (16:9) (default) | 16:9 | 960 | 540 |
| Widescreen (16:10) | 16:10 | 960 | 600 |
Three resolutions are available: 220, 150, and 96 dots per inch (dpi).
