Creating a New PowerPoint Presentation from a Word file

When you insert a Word document, PowerPoint creates an outline structure based on heading styles in the document.

  • A Heading 1 in your source document becomes a slide title in PowerPoint,

  • a Heading 2 becomes the first level of body text on the slide,

  • a Heading 3 the second level of text on the slide, and so on.

If the original document contains no heading styles, PowerPoint creates an outline based on paragraphs. For example, for several lines of text styled as Normal and broken by paragraphs, PowerPoint turns each paragraph into a slide title.
 

 

 To create a new presentation from a Microsoft Word file click on the Insert menu and choose Slides from Outline.


 

 

 Navigate to the document you wish to convert, select it, and then click Insert.


 

 

 PowerPoint automatically converts the document into a slide format.
