I just installed Office 2013 on Kubuntu following this video (using PlayOnLinux and wine). The gif below shows what happens when I try to open PowerPoint. It starts all right but the slides are blank (just a gray background). No matter what I try to draw/write on the slide it just stays blank.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

EDIT: Might be useful to mention that Excel and Word work perfect.

I just tried drawing some random shape in the slide, even though I cannot see it, and then I exported the presentation to pdf. I could see the shapes in the output pdf, but still not in the PowerPoint. This is very strange...

Check if Office online snap works for you. sudo snap install office365webdesktop --beta. Also give Onlyoffice a try.
