PowerPoint presentations are based on outlines, which
you can create using either PowerPoint, or the more extensive outlining
tools in Word. You can import any Word document into PowerPoint,
although only paragraphs tagged with heading styles become part of the
slides. Each Heading 1 style in a Word document becomes the title of a
separate PowerPoint slide. Heading 2 becomes the first level of indented
text, and so on. If a document contains no styles, PowerPoint uses the
paragraph indents to determine a slide structure. You can edit the
slides using the usual PowerPoint commands. You can also copy any table
you created in Word to a PowerPoint slide.
Create PowerPoint Slides from a Word Document
 Open or create a Word document with heading styles.
 Click the Send to Microsoft PowerPoint button on the Quick Access Toolbar.
- The Send to Microsoft PowerPoint button is not on the Quick
Access Toolbar by default. Use the Customize pane in Word Options to add
the button.
PowerPoint opens; each Heading 1 style text becomes the title of a new
slide and Heading 2 style text becomes top-level bullets on a slide, and
so forth.
 Save the presentation, and then edit it by adding slides, changing slide layouts, and applying a design template.
Embed a Word Table in a Slide
- Click in the Word table you want to use in a slide.
- Click the table selection box (small black box in the upper-left corner of the table).
- Click the Home tab, and then click the Copy button.
 Click the PowerPoint slide where you want to insert the Word table.
 Click the Home tab, and then click the Paste button.
 Click the Paste Options button, and then click the option you want.
- You can point to a paste option icon to display a ScreenTip with the function name, and display a preview of the data (New!).
You can create slides from a Word outline and insert them into an existing PowerPoint presentation.
In PowerPoint, display the slide after which you want to insert the new
slides. Click the Home tab, click the New Slide button arrow, click
Slides From Outline, and then select the Word document you want.
