Definitely - both in terms of a traditional, predictive-type project where key elements of the MS Word-based charter were included in the PPT deck to support the presentation, and adaptive projects where a project vision board was created as a PPT slide and served as a charter.

Be careful that your PowerPoint doesn't replace you, the presenter. It's easy to put too much in the presentation. Remember your audience: they don't need details, they need decision-making information. As the presenter, make sure you are telling them a story, not simply sharing information. Saving Changes...

Cheryl, yes.
The Charter and other documents are often used as input to a kickoff presentation to show what the project is about.
Given that the Charter represents the governance decision to start a project and assign a project manager I tend to keep a fixed document, signed and never changed. And I tend to keep it short. Most content is being progressively elaborated during the course of the project and changes (think schedule, scope, budget, stakeholders, team roaster, risk etc).
I agree with Sergio and Thomas. PowerPoint is useful for Project Kickoff, to present certain sections and information of the Project Charter. Saving Changes...
