In previous versions, if I sent a PPT to word, the text would appear in
Outline style, in other words, the slide titles would become Heading 1, the
level 1 bullets woudl become Heading 2 text and so on. This was great for
creating agendas and such. Now, it just exports all text, but does no
formatting at all. Any thoughts/suggestions?
 
It's working here. Are the text in PowerPoint formatted already?

I have the same thing happening. When I export to Word it all comes over as
regular text. It used to provide an outline which was great for TOC or
creating agendas.

I see the same problem here when sending the presentation to Word. But this
works for me:
- in Powerpoint go to "Save as"
- choose "Other Formats"
- "Save as type: Outline/RTF"

Than open the RTF-file in Word. I get an outline in Word with heading1 for
the title of the slides and heading2 for the first level of the bullet
points.
 
Thank you very much. Perfect!

I'm glad to help!
But nevertheless I would prefer to have the "old" function back and get an
outline by sending to Word.
