Insertin PowerPoint Notes pages into a document

[Chris Swinney]

Hi,

I am using Office 2007 (but this will apply to any version). Is there a way
of inserting PowerPoint Notes pages into a Word document? I can insert a
slide, or even an entire presentation, but what I want to do is produce a
formal report which will include a presentation and all of it's notes, so
maintaining a continuas theme and page numbering within the document.

Is this possible?

Chris,
Have you tried, File - send to - Microsoft Office Word - choose radio button
next to from the top - OK. It may require some editing in Word removing page
breaks an such.
In PPT 2007 that would be Office button - Publish - Create Hand-outs in
Word.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was looking at it the wrong way
round (importing to Word rather than exporting from PowerePoint). However, I
did notice a couple of oddities.

1) It would be nice to specify the document you wish to export to.
PowerPoint simple creates a new document from which you need to cut and
paste (I guess this is what you where talking about with regards to editing)
2) When you "paste link" the presentation,
a) the slide images that come across are of VERY poor quality
b) the text notes do not link
c) the file size of the Word document increases dramtically. I published to
simple 7 page presentations to word and it increased the file size by about
16MB! I would have though that by linking you would actually decrease the
file size!

Chris,
In that case maybe this add-in will be an improvement. Thank Bill Dilworth
