Nine shapes on one slide, not a table
A slide has a job a document does not: it has to survive being projected, animated and argued over. So the export is one 16:9 slide carrying nine real autoshapes, each with its block title and its notes as editable text. Click a block and it selects like any other shape — drag it, resize it, recolour it, or animate the nine in sequence while you talk through the model.
The whole canvas is scaled once to fit the slide, so the geometry that fits the screen here is the geometry on the slide. Nothing is a picture, so nothing goes fuzzy on a projector.
Working with the slide in PowerPoint
- 1
Click a block and type
Each block is one shape with its own text box. The title is the first line; the notes follow it. - 2
Change a block colour
Shape Format → Shape Fill. The nine fills come from the template you picked here, so switch template first if you want a different set. - 3
Animate the build
Select the nine shapes and add an entrance animation to reveal the model one block at a time. - 4
Reuse it in a longer deck
Copy the nine shapes and paste them into your own deck; they arrive as shapes, keeping your master.

Questions about the PowerPoint version
Yes. Both import .pptx and both keep the nine shapes editable. Fonts and text autofit can shift a little, since each application has its own idea of how to shrink text to a box.
A table is a single object: you cannot animate one cell, drag one block onto another slide, or give each block its own fill. Nine shapes give you all three, and a slide is where those things get done.
Yes. Copy the nine shapes and paste them onto a slide in your deck. They carry their own fills and positions, so they land intact on your master.
Everything scales to fit one slide, so a canvas with many notes gets smaller type rather than a second slide. Trim the longest block, or use the PDF at A3 if the detail has to stay.
