Convert Word document to PowerPoint - does it work?

If you want to convert your Word document into PowerPoint, the formatting is retained. You can turn the individual slides later with a click of the mouse.

Word in PowerPoint - Method 1

There are two ways to do this. You should choose one of the methods and apply it to all text pages:

• The first is to open your original document in Word and an empty presentation in PowerPoint. Select a page in the text and copy the content to the clipboard with the command "Edit"> "Copy".
• Now switch to PowerPoint using the key combination [Alt] + [Tab]. Here you execute the command "Edit"> "Paste Special" on a blank page of the presentation.
• In the following dialog, click on "Insert", select the setting "Graphics" in the list and confirm the entry with "OK". Then execute the command "Insert"> "New slide" to create the next empty slide.
• Now switch back to Word with [Alt] + [Tab] and repeat the process one after the other for all text pages.

Integrate Word document into PowerPoint - Method 2

1. In the second option, you also click the "Link" radio button and then select the "Microsoft Word document object" entry.
2. With this you set up a link to the Word document and you can automatically apply later changes to the text in the presentation. Note that Powerpoint automatically adapts the text to the page size of the slide in this variant. This may not always be desirable.
