Why does the same text look different in Word and PowerPoint?

Question

For no apparent reason, some of the diacritic signs are shifted during the transfer from Word to PowerPoint:

For example, this is how "ܩܛܲܠܬܘܿܢܵܝܗ̄ܝ" (Syriac word) it looks like in Word:

This is what it looks like in PowerPoint (after simple copy-paste):

You can see that the top line in the left part of the word - moved left. To get these results you need to define Syriac as a language and some fonts will install automatically. Specifically, this is Estrangelo Edessa.

Any ideas for that case? (Of course, any effort to return the vowels marks to their original place leads to further disruptions.)

Thanks!

Answer 1

As long as even typing the text is not working in PowerPoint, although it is working in Word, there is no point in trying copy-paste.

You may signal the problem to Microsoft using menu Help > Contact Support, but this isn't an immediate solution.

The only immediate solution I can think of is using in PowerPoint snippets of screenshots of the text in Word.
