I am trying to fit a Word document into a PowerPoint 2003 presentation. I
need each page of the document to be on seperate slides.
When I copy/paste now, the text runs over the edges and top & bottom of the
slide.
I would appreciate the proceedure for this.
Thank you,
 
There is nothing that will turn off your audience more than a bunch of words
in a PowerPoint show that you just read to them. You might as well just
make slides and show it up on an overhead projector! Create your
presentation with simple bulleted lines that outline the document and if it
is really needed to open put a button or image on your slide, right-click
the object and select "Action Settings", click the "Hyperlink to" dropdown
and select "Other file". Browse to and select your Word document. This way
it opens up Word, you can look it over as necessary, then close Word to
return to your slide show. One important thing about linking is if you need
to transport this presentation it is a good idea to put the Word document in
the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. That way when you link it
you can move both files together to another folder, CD, etc., and the link
will always work.

Thank you for your input and guidance Bill. I will try your idea of linking
to a Word document. What I really need to accomplish is to reference the
information in the Word Doc as part of the presentation and explain the
information through verbal explanation. I believe I can make your concept
work.
Thank you again.
