to narrow down issue have, please provide information below:

  1. does complex shapes mean combine shapes create custom shape in powerpoint 2016 mac?
  2. what’s os version. example: 12.13 high sierra.
  3. create new presentation, issue occur?

in meantime, check if issue related third-party, please try rebooting system in safe

boot see result:

  1. restart mac, press , hold shift key. white apple logo

  1. release shift key when see logo window. if startup disk encrypted

filevault, might asked log in twice: once unlock startup disk, , again log in
