+1! Would love to be able to integrate with apps such as Powerpoint as well
Someone really needs to work on a powerpoint feature because incorporating/managing references in powerpoint presentations is very important. It has been several years since this issue has been brought up and it isnāt clear how difficult it would be to integrate this feature into powerpoint. From my perspective as a software engineer, it should be fairly trivial and almost work exactly like the word plugin. EndNote has integration into powerpoint and it would be a shame for me as a paying user to have revert back to using endnote only because there is no plan to make paperpile more useful for customers.

Welcome to our forum, @arosado, and thank you for adding your thoughts to this thread. Weāve added your +1 for PowerPoint integration to the topic on our internal feature tracker for consideration at a later date.
A possible workaround for creating a reference list in PowerPoint is to copy citations directly from your library and paste them into your presentation. To do this, select the references you want by clicking the checkbox next to each title, then click the cite button in the toolbar (or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd-C on macOS / Ctrl-C on Windows and Linux) to copy the citations to your clipboard.
Hi! Itās 2026! We (well, I, since I pay for it) just renewed our lab subscription to Paperpile (5 licenses). Unfortunately, our organization pushes Microsoft applications ruthlessly (presumably so that IT has security holes to fix), and as such, graduate students are requested to use Word 365.
I love Paperpile but if after 5 years (two of them post-new-webapp-launch) it is not possible to add MS365 support, this may have to be our last renewal. I really hope youāll prioritize this. Itās not something I wanted to pursue, but our grants office increasingly wonāt play nice with any other workflow.
nb. Microsoft seems to have a sensible API for doing this thing ā the examples are on GitHub, but the forum software wonāt allow me to link to them here. Iād be delighted to if I could.
Whether an add-in is straightforward for Paperpileās functionality, I donāt know. The Zotero developers indicate that development of the add-in is not difficult, but the process of getting Microsoft to make it available through Word 365 is excruciatingly slow, as one might expect. (Iād like to their forum, but it seems that is not allowed by the forum software).
Hereās hoping the dam will break. It would be a shame for Paperpile to wither, but this is what Microsoft has always been ā embrace, extend, extinguish. Maybe call the add-in āCopilot Referencesā or something, that might perk up some ears in Redmond. 
Itās been quite a few years for this request. Any plans for microsoft 365 online plugin? Iāve been having to dual boot (linux and windows) just to be able to use the word plugin. As everyone else has already mentioned there isnt any appetite to migrate to google. most labs / universities and collaborators still heavily depend on Microsoft.
