To make a word cloud in PowerPoint, you need to use the Pro Word Cloud app. If you don’t like the default results, the Pro Word Cloud app allows you to customize your word cloud’s font, color, layout, case, and size. You can set a limit for the number of words, and you have the option to include common words (and, or, the, etc.).
