Sometimes you finish a Word document, but you also need to create a PowerPoint presentation with the same contents due to some reasons. At this moment, you may worry about endless copying and pasting to make a PowerPoint presentation from Word document. From this point of view, it is needed to find a simple and convenient way to convert word to PPT directly. In this article, we will talk about 4 Methods to Convert Word Document to PowerPoint Presentation for free.
Overview:
You can convert Word document to PowerPoint by the following steps:
Step 1. Open the Word document, click Home, and use Styles to format the contents of Word.
Step 2. Press Ctrl when you select the texts for slide title, and then select Heading 1 in Styles.
Press Ctrl when you select the texts for slide text, and then select Heading 2 in Styles.
Step 3. Click the arrow on the top of the left menu, select more Commands.
Step 4. Select All Commands under the Choose commands from menu, and select Send to Microsoft PowerPoint from the sub-menu, click Add and then click OK.
Step 5. Click the Send to Microsoft PowerPoint icon on the top left bar and then your PowerPoint will be ready.
You can edit or customize the PowerPoint format according to your need and then save it.
Tips: Heading 1 is the slide title, Heading 2 is slide text, and Heading 3 is sub-text or bullets. And this method doesn't work with pictures. If you have pictures in your Word document and you want to add them to PowerPoint, you should remove it and add them manually later when you edit the PowerPoint.
You can also export Word document to PowerPoint presentation by this method:
Step 1. Set the Word file format according to the rules listed in method 1.
Step 2. Open Microsoft PowerPoint, click File tab, and then click Open tab.
Step 3. Choose All File for the file type to be opened, go to the location where you store your Word file, click the file and then click Open.
After that, you can save the content as a new PowerPoint presentation.
You can import a Word Outline into PowerPoint slides:
Step 1. Open the Word document, select View and then click Outline view.
Step 2. Press Ctrl when you select texts, select Level 1 for your main headings. These will be the slide titles.
Select Level 2 for other texts. These will be the slide texts. Then save and close the Word.
Step 3. Open a blank PowerPoint, click Home> New Slide> Slide from Outline, insert your Word Outline. And then slides and bullets are created.
Tips: Level 1 is slide title, Level 2 is slide text, Level 3 and up is sub-bullets. Body Text will not appear in your PowerPoint. Word will not automatically convert pictures for you, so you will have to copy and paste or insert them into your slides manually.
Step 1. Select the slide in which you want to place the Word document, click Insert and then choose Object.
Step 2. In the Insert Object dialog box, select Create from file.
Step 3. Click Browse to locate the Word document you want to insert, select your Word document, and then click OK. And click OK to insert the contents of your Word document as an object.
Tips: You can also tick link to insert a linked object, which makes your object a shortcut to the Word document you imported. When you edit linked Word document, the changes will be updated automatically in PowerPoint. And if you prefer to have your Word document open in Word instead of in PowerPoint, you can select the Display as icon to insert a Word icon into the presentation. When you click the icon, the document in Word will be opened.
