What it does

KPT in a minute

KPT is a large toolkit for people who build many decks, with tables, charts and Arabic and English text. BASIC puts the essentials in one ribbon tab: split and merge text, change case without losing your formatting, align and distribute, and format tables.

Every tool understands right-to-left text, including Arabic bullets and table cells. Everything else is visible in the tab as a locked button that tells you what it does.

  • Split and merge text

    Split a text box into paragraphs or lines, or merge several boxes into one.

  • Case that keeps your look

    Sentence, UPPERCASE, Title or lowercase, while your colours, fonts and sizes stay exactly as they are.

  • Align and distribute

    Align six ways, distribute with equal gaps, and make shapes the same size, width or height. The first shape you select is the reference.

  • Format Table in one click

    Three colour presets, Navy, Slate and Charcoal, with a filled header, pale banded body and rules in the preset's colour.

  • Left to right and right to left

    Set text direction and alignment on shapes, bullets and table cells, Arabic included.

  • Nothing hidden

    Every ADVANCED tool is visible in the tab as a locked button that opens a single alert saying what it does. Nothing appears at launch or on a timer.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which shape is the reference for Align and Same size?

The first shape you select. Shift-click it first. With a rubber-band selection, the back-most shape counts as first.

Does changing case change my formatting?

No. Your colours, fonts and sizes stay as they are.

Does it work with Arabic?

Yes. Direction, alignment and the table presets work on Arabic text, bullets and right-to-left tables.

Does it send anything anywhere?

No. There is no network helper in BASIC (Translate is an ADVANCED feature), and nothing is sent anywhere.

Why does the installer ask for my Mac password?

It installs the add-in into Office's system-wide Startup folder, which PowerPoint scans at launch. It never writes into PowerPoint's own container or registry.

How do I remove it?

Double-click Uninstall KPT Basic.command in /Library/Application Support/KPT/KPT Basic/. It removes only BASIC's files and leaves ADVANCED alone.

Can BASIC and ADVANCED be installed together?

Yes. They are separate apps with their own settings, so installing, using or removing one never touches the other.

I installed it but cannot find the tab.

Quit PowerPoint completely (Cmd-Q) and open it again. The tab appears after View in the ribbon. If it is still missing, see the PowerPoint install guide or contact us.

When can I buy ADVANCED?

Not yet. We are completing our UAE business licence before we take payments. Join the waitlist and we will email you the day sales open.
