Yes we can use a slide in PowerPoint as OpenPose editor. The benefit is not only that we don't need to go online or install an extension, but that PowerPoint doesn't restrict any proportion composition. So, with help of PowerPoint it is for us possible to
generate skeleton with non-standard proportion like in gorilla, chimpanzee, or orangutan;
copy particular limbs to make monster with 4 arms, or 2 heads;
or even remove a limb to draw a mermaid for instance.
Furthermore, we can insert hand keynotes and/or face keynotes, and even edit it. Those are basically just colorful circles, lines, or shapes which can be drawn and modified easily in PowerPoint.
We can also add depthmap of hand poses to our skeleton. We will also find out that lineart of hand poses might be a cleverer alternative to draw nice hands. Finally we will see that lineart can be used to inpaint bad hands, and modify an image or composition to create something new.
You will find deeper discussion about the issues above, of course the PowerPoint file in

Just for people who don’t know. You can hide key points in https://github.com/huchenlei/sd-webui-openpose-editor, which is the same as remove limb. Extra limb can be achieved by adding an extra skeleton and hide undesired key points.
I'm really appreciative of your approach. I tried it and it's about as easy to edit the body pose this way as with open pose, but easier to change the position and frame size.
The real problem with all of open pose, is that it's too easy to get unnatural or awkward poses. A long time ago I used to use a software called Poser and it knew how far a leg or arm joint could move - so you could pull on a hand or foot and it would start moving the other joints in a logical way.
Correct, it can be "too free" so that one will need a reference picture as a kind of guidance in creating a natural pose
