How do I convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation? I "sent" the file to Powerpoint from Word, but it didn't come up as it is in Word.

Help!
 
Hello Anonymous,

When using the Send to Microsoft PowerPoint option from Word the
presentation will not come out as it is in Word unless the formatting is
set as PowerPoint expects.
I pulled this from Word's Help text, it gives a better explanation than I
can.
Hope this helps:

Create a PowerPoint presentation from a Word outline:
You can use an existing Microsoft Word document to create a Microsoft
PowerPoint presentation. To set up the slides in a presentation, PowerPoint
uses the heading styles (heading style: Formatting applied to a heading.
Microsoft Word has nine different built-in styles: Heading 1 through
Heading 9.) in your Word document. For example, each paragraph formatted
with the Heading 1 style becomes the title of a new slide, each Heading 2
becomes the first level of text, and so on.
Note You must apply a heading format to the text you want to include in a
slide. For example, if you apply the Normal style to a block of text, Word
will not send that text to PowerPoint.
1. Open the document you want to use to create a PowerPoint presentation.
2. On the File menu, point to Send To, and then click Microsoft PowerPoint.
Tips
" If you're already working in PowerPoint, you can import a Word document
into a presentation. In PowerPoint, click Open on the File menu. In the
Files of type box, click All Files. In the File name box, enter the file
name and location of the Word document.
" You can also insert slides from a Word outline into an existing
presentation. In PowerPoint, display the slide after which you want to
insert the new slides. On the Insert menu, click Slides from Outline, and
then select the Word document you want to use.

Just as a note: the only true way to get the Word Document to show up in a
presentation you need to change the Presentation format to Portrait and
then cupy the individule pages from Word and paste them into PowerPoint as
a Word Object.
