I don't quite understand what the instructions are saying. Might be able to
figure it out if I knew which instructions you found, though...
Anyway, for File/Send to Word, here's what I do:
1. Open PPT and open the file I want to send
2. File/Send to Word
3. Choose what I want [*] in the dialog box
4. Choose Paste Link in the dialog box
5. Hit OK
6. In Word, CTRL+A to select all
7. Edit/Links/Break Link
8. Delete/add columns and resize thumbails and otherwise format at will.
[*]
A. Notes next to slides sends slide thumbnails and text that was included in
the placeholder area ("click here to add text") of the slide *notes page*
(see View/Notes Page). Result is a Word table with Slide Number in the first
column, Slide Thumbnail in the second, and Notes in the third. You will get
a default of 3 slides/page using this method; this is easy to modify once
you're in Word by splitting the table and adding page breaks or increasing
the row height or whatever.
B. Blank lines next to slides sends slide thumbnails only. It's like A, but
you don't get the notes. The "send to" feature adds the blank lines next to
the thumbnails automatically.
c. Notes below slides is also rather like A, except the notes are below the
slide thumbnails instead of beside them. Oh, and you don't get slide
thumbnails in a table, you instead get one larger slide per page with notes
below.
d. Same layout as C, but you don't get the notes -- you get the blank lines
instead.
e. Outline only is just that -- the outline. This option gives you all the
text that's in the placeholders ("click here to add text") on your slides.
You don't get notes with this option.
f. Paste vs Paste Link: Just trust me that the best thing to do here is what
I described above.
