Can a user download/merge a list of names from Excel into a template to
create certificates in powerpoint?

Why wouldn't you do this using Mail Merge in Word? This would be a much
better choice unless you are doing it for on-screen showing, rather than
printed certificates. If you must use PowerPoint, check out PPT Merge:

Not with PowerPoint on its own.

You could possibly create the certificate in PPT then copy/paste into Word and
add merge fields in Word. Then you could merge print the Word document with
the Excel data.

I wrote a PPT add-in to do the whole thing directly in PPT+Excel
There's a free, fully functional demo and more information here:
