How do you transfer text from Word to a Powerpoint presentation?

Question

I have a prepared report that I want to make into a powerpoint presentation. How do I transfer text?

Answer 1

Copy paste...

Of course, I am assuming that you have Microsoft's Powerpoint (which is a part of Microsoft Office Suite but you can get it individually as well) because you need that to make a powerpoint presentation.

Answer 2

If you have tried a standard copy and paste operation and it failed, try to establish a text box in PowerPoint prior to doing the copy. Both software programs you are using are from Microsoft and will exchange information freely. If all else fails, use the help file and just ask the question. The on line help files are superb. I was privileged to write the help files for an obscure piece of Windows compatible software. It isn't hard to write these files if you know the software, all you have to do is go step by step through the pull down menus. And, the folks at Microsoft know the software, or they will be working somewhere else.

Hope this helps, I can assure you it is doable.

Answer 3

The copy and paste method is your easiest option.

Go into your Word and Select all the text (CTRL+A)

Open Powerpoint, create a new slide and paste the text (CTRL+V)

You may have to break apart the text into a couple slides, depending on the amount of text there.

Answer 4

[copy paste]
highlight what you want to transfer->right click on highlighted text->scroll to copy
the on the PowerPoint slide right click on the text box -> scroll to paste
