Thanks Michael, I will try this.

Okay I did that, but on each slide there was only 1 line of text from the
file. I then "selected" the whole thing, and again, it only put one line of
text there.

PowerPoint uses your heading levels in word to figure out where to put
text. As I recall, a Heading 1 starts a new slide and puts the text in a
title area on that slide. A Heading 2, puts the text on the same slide in
a text or subtitle area. Play with the heading levels of your Word
document until you get it to work.

You need to lay out your word document in the outline type format. The help file
in word can give you the procedure to follow.
