Technical Information

Every Page Master (default and custom) in Displayr will be exported to PowerPoint as a slide layout within the Slide Master.
Objects that can be added to a Page Master (e.g. text items, images, shapes, controls, placeholder textboxes) will appear in PowerPoint on these slide layouts, with the exception of page numbers.
When exporting tables to PowerPoint, it controls the wrapping of column text in tables in the exported file. This means that there are cases where what you see in Displayr may not completely match what you see in the export.

Method - Canceling the export

Sometimes you may need to cancel your export. Many times the export works so fast it will be finished by the time you realize, but for larger and more complex reports, you can cancel the export by clicking on the spinning circle by the document name at the top of the window. This will expand out to show you what is being processed and you will see a trash can next to the Exporting line which you can click to cancel the export.
