Outline View Problem

G

Guest

I have slides that have a title in one text box (placeholder?) then a
subtitle in a separate box and finally the body of the text in a third box.
I would like to see ALL of the text in every box in the outline view, and/or
export ALL text from every slide to a text file or Word file. Is this
possible? Is it possible to combine these first two boxes to get the third
to display or export?

Only placeholders appear in the outline view If you use the Send to Word
function, you will get all the slide information

I've tried that and still only get the title and subtitle. I think the body
of the text is in a text box, not a placeholder.

If you use the Send to Word function selecting the 'Outline only' option,
that is all you will get. The outline text, and no other slide information.
Try selecting one of the other 3 options.

That works and I'll have to go with that. I was hoping to get text only to
create worksheets and even exams without more cutting and pasting, but this
will have to do.

Thanks for your help.

Or perhaps this:

Export Text to a text file (Mac or PC)
