Send to Word feature

PowerPoint has a great feature called "Send To Micorsoft
Word". When you select this, it takes the program,
creates miniatures of each slide, then sets it up in a
Word document table with instructor notes to the right.
If there are already notes, it places them there or you
can add the notes manually in Word.

The problem is that when it creates the slide miniatures,
it makes them as PowerPoint slide objects. That enables
them to be double clicked on for editing purposes. As
such, they take up an awful lot of memory, especially
since I use digital photos so often. The newly created
Word document can take a minute or more just to save
changes. It sometimes locks up the computer also.

Is there a way of using the "Send To Microsoft Word"
feature and having PowerPoint create the miniatures as
jpg's or some other format that doesn't have the link to
PowerPoint and uses much less memory?

Good news, bad news. Steve's tip cuts those monster Word files "in half."
But, Send To appears to be equivalent to copy/paste from Ppt to Word, and we
all know what that does to file sizes. They're big, and that's the cost of
the feature, unfortunately. Look at it this way...now you can justify that
180 GB hard drive!
