Use Word’s Outline View To Organize PowerPoint Slides And Notes

Posted by on Oct 27, 2008 | 3 Comments

Some people find it easier to use Word than PowerPoint. If you need to deliver a presentation, you will at some point, need to use PowerPoint. However, you can create your content within Word using the Outline view and easily convert the to slides.
The first thing you need to do is switch to Outline view within Word (click the View menu and click Outline). Each Level 1 heading that you create will be a new slide. Any headings you create under a Level 1 heading, such as any Level 2 or 3 headings, will appear as bullets on the slide. Knowing this, you should be able to create your slide content within Word. When you are finished, click the File menu, point to Send to, and click Microsoft PowerPoint.

PowerPoint will open and your content will automatically appear as headings and bullets on the slides.

    Thank you for the advice on converting Word outlines to PowerPoint – but I cannot get it to do this.

    When you are finished, click the File menu, point to Send to, and click Microsoft PowerPoint.

    I use Office 07 but my File meu does not have the Send to option. (I have converted the text etc)

    I was able to convert Word to PP easily in the previous edition of Office.

    Any suggestions?
