If the file in Word is formatted correctly, it can save hours once you are
on the PPT side.
First, look at your document in OUTLINE view.
The text that is marked Level 1 will become the slide titles
The text on level 2 will become the top line of the text box (a new shape
under the title box).
Each additional outline level that (indents) will become a new indented
lines within this textbox.
Body text level text is a little tricky: it does not always get brought in
at the intended level, so I tend to avoid it.
Consider, if you would, that printed media is not the same as presented
material. If the printed Word document is 40 pages long, and it is all
placed into PowerPoint, it is either too much detail or too much data for an
hour meeting. You may want to just pull out key points and summarize the
document in the PowerPoint slides. This will leave the speaker free to
actually talk to the audience and not just read word-for-word from the
screen. Reading from the screen is the first and worse trademark of a poor
presenter.
