My PowerPoint presentation on my Mac is not displaying properly on the projector. Print Friendly and PDF. In PowerPoint 2011 and 2016, by default, when you. Making a PowerPoint presentation on a Mac computer can be done using any slide show or business presentation software available through iWork Office Suite. Find alternatives to Microsoft's.
Thanks for your query in this community.
For this kind of scenario, we would recommend you double check the Animations Pane, see if all the animations are in the same sequence.
Also, if you have checked the Animations Pane, please export your presentation as MP4 video, see if the animation could be successfully completed. Or the third object still missing in the exported video.
Meanwhile, to help us understand your scenario better, we would like to confirm the following information:
1.A screenshot of your Current Office for Mac Version.
2.By the saying of 'this happens intermittently', could you try create a new presentation, and apply the same objects as well as the animation settings, check if issue persist.
Regards,

Good morning, Alex, Thank you for your reply.
1. Everything in the animation pane is correct:
2. The animation plays correctly in mp4 format. The animation does not play correctly in Presenter Mode. Here are screen shots. You will see that there are 5 objects shown on the right, but in the second screen shot, only 4 appear on the left:
Here are screenshots of the version I am using:
I created a new presentation and the problem persists. The screenshots, above, are from the new presentation.
Thank you,
Paul

I a new mac used and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how? Is there a compatable program ?
Do you need to do a presentation, or do you need to do a PowerPoint presentation?
PowerPoint is presentation software by Microsoft, part of Microsoft Office. If you want to use it, you need to buy it from Microsoft.
Apple has its own presentation software, called Keynote, and it's quite well regarded. However, it is not bundled with Mac OS X, and you have to buy it from Apple, either by itself, or as part of a suite called iWork, which is a sort of counterpart to Microsoft Office.
If you need compatibility with PowerPoint, but can't afford to buy it, you can try OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Both are free; they are based on the same software and they are designed for a high degree of compatibility with MS Office. There is also NeoOffice, based on the same software as the other two; it is supposed to be more Mac-like than the others, but, although theoretically free, it requires a (relatively) small fee to download, which means it's not really free. None of the three is as well polished or well supported as MS Office or iWork, but they do work quite well.
