Well if you have a specific template in mind then you can use Pillar and input the final results as images back to Morphic.
Creating a full PowerPoint implementation with Morphic sounds an overkill to me. Why waste all this time when there so many great external solutions ? Or you even bypass Pillar and go straight to a PowerPoint app, export to jpgs and import to Morphic. Definetly not more than 2 hours work.
