Exporting Point Slides into Word

[Guest]

Okay, someone save my sanity!

I'm new to PP '07 and I'm having some difficulty. I have a PP presentation
that when I am trying to save into Word. When I do this, it sets up a table
with three columns. The first column is simple "Slide #", the second is a
graphic of the slide, and the third column are the slide notes. Due to three
columns, the graphic of the slide is a bit small.

I have a word document that someone exported before me. Theirs has column
headings at the top of the page, only two columns, larger PP slide graphics,
and it lists the slide number directly above the slide rather than a column
to the left. I like this format much better, but don't understand how to
export slides using this format. I believe there is a style or template sheet
applied to the Word document but I cannot figure out where to go from here.

There has to be a way to export the style from the "good" word document and
apply it to the one I created with PP, but I cannot understand how. Any ideas
on the style sheet or theme concepts?

HELP!!!

Is it possible they used Bill D's Slide into Word add in to build the Word
document?

Interesting link, but no. It doesn't look like the same formatting. From what
I could tell on the first program screen, it still had 3 columns, but one was
turned sideways to use less space.

Am I really to believe we are limited to only one built-in way to arrange
these items on the page on export, and it's picked by Microsoft??

The "send to" ("publish | handouts") doesn't do this formatting
automatically, you have to do it manually. Select the slide # column and
delete it. Then resize each of the thumbnails. This is easier in previous
versions of Word. In Word 2007, you have to add the Format Object / Size
tool to your QAT* in order to size the slides. Otherwise you must drag the
edge/corner of the object and eyeball it.

*Right-click the QAT and choose Customize. In "choose commands from," select
the "drawing tools | format tab" and then click "format autoshape: size."
Click Add and OK.

Don't shoot the messenger.
