Convert Word to PowerPoint

[Guest]

I need to convert a Word file to PowerPoint without losing any formatting, graphics, etc. I need each slide to exactly match a page in the original Word file. How do I do this?

With a lot of elbow grease, that's how. Matching type formatting isn't too
difficult...even lateral paragraph margins...but an exact page-match?
Margins? Headers? Footers? There ain't no wizard for that one...

Do you need to be able to edit the result in PowerPoint? If not, it might be
simplest to make a screenshot of each Word page, then bring that into
PowerPoint.

Or, if you have Acrobat, make a PDF of the Word doc, open it in Acrobat and
export bitmaps of each page, then bring those into PPT.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not provide that level of integration with other Office
applications. To get that kind of integration you would have to write your
own solution (e.g. VBA), find some 3rd party solution already developed or
do some manual work (such as creating screen shots).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) thinks that is important for
PowerPoint to provide better (or any) support for support for consuming,
viewing and/or interacting with data and documents from other Office
applications (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins), don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
