Using Word with PPT for notes pages

[Guest]

I am using Word for my notes pages and have linked them with PPT so that when
I make changes in PPT, the changes are automatically updated in the Word
document. When I change an existing slide in the PPT, the Word document is
automatically updating. However, when I try to ADD a slide in the PPT, a new
slide is not added to the linked Word document. Am I doing something wrong?

So you used Send To Word to create the Word document? That creates links from
Word back to the "source" PPT slides, but it doesn't and can't make links to any
slides you haven't yet created (sure would be cool if it were smart enough to
check for new slides and update automatically, though).

You're not doing anything wrong; Word and PPT just don't do what you want.
You'll have to send the presentation to Word again after adding new slides.
