Microsoft Powerpoint to Word document
Discussion
Well, I think my role has just changed from Sales and Marketing Manager to Secretary. One of my bosses has asked me to create a word document, that is originally in Powerpoint. I thought it would be as easy to just copy and paste, but not, and I am shocking in Word as all I do in it is type the odd report or fax and mainly use excel. The document is in Landscape set up with lots of little boxes etc. If anyone can help me I don't mind forwarding on the documents so they can have a look at the layout. Please help, it's Friday and need an early finish. thanks
How big's the file? I'm working in a translation package at the moment that allows me to export PPT files in a single Word table. You'll need to reformat the whole thing with page breaks and stuff, but again you'll avoid having to type it up.
Is it small enough to send, or is it full of hi-res graphics and stuff??

Save it as a webpage to your desktop.
Find the HTML icon for it then double click it.
You can now right click and chose "select all" and copy and paste it all into a Word document. Make sure you have VIEW/PRINT LAYOUT or VIEW WEB LAYOUT chosen from the menu at the top.
Does this work for you?

find the little blue explorer "E" icon on the desktop called the same as the original powerpoint presentation and click on it twice.

If you're using a fairly recent version of word just open the html in word then save as a word doc.
Nope, it saves the HTML as a Powerpoint generated file so as soon as you try to open it in Word it will open Powerpoint instead. Already checked that.

Sorry - got here late.
If you don't want to edit it, then save it as a "emf". You then can save every page. It creates a directory with an EMF file for each page, which you can then re-import back into Word one-per-page.
You can find the emf option in File.. Save As... under the "Save as Type:" drop down menu.
If all you want is the text, then just save as "Outline/RTF" - it'll give you an RTF file that you can then open in word and it will have all the text appropiatly formatted.
If you still can't work it out, email it to me and I'll do it all for you and email it back.
