• How To Change Powerpoint File In Word

Embed Word content directly into your PowerPoint presentation. You can import a Word document as an object, which inserts a static snapshot of the document. This is useful when the Word document is a single page and has pictures. Another option is to use a Word outline as the foundation for a presentation.

PowerPoint 2007 lets you create slides from your Word documents without having to retype or copy any text. All you need to do is to apply Word's built-in heading styles to your text, and PowerPoint will do the rest. For example, say you have typed the following text in your Word document:

LEARN MORE: Office 365 Consumer pricing and features

Questions to ask about your financial investment:

Is principal guaranteed?

What is the market risk?

Is interest compounded free from current income taxes?

Can you withdraw without penalty?

Will it provide guaranteed lifetime income?

Fitch rating: AA (Very Strong)

For each slide in this example, the line to be the slide title received the Heading 1 style, and the remaining lines of text for each slide received the Heading 2 style. (PowerPoint 2007 can only convert text formatted with a heading style, but you can use any of Word's built-in heading styles.)
