I have been trying to find out how to put an MS Word Document into a
PowerPoint Presentation.  I have looked at books, websites, study guides and
cheatsheet cards, but am not fully understanding what the person was asking
me to locate since I use word a lot and am new to the rest of office since I
have taught myself how to use some of these programs and had some training
classes in them and am an avid computer program book reader to learn new
software to better myself in the business world.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.  

Thank you

Wouldn't the first step be to ask the person what they want you to locate?

We can't tell you how to get there unless we know where there is.

That's the deal here.  You supply the questions, we supply the answers. <g>

You might ask them what they want to see on the PowerPoint slides.  A picture
of each page of the word document, one per slide?  Selected content from the
document?  A link they can click on to launch the word doc?

Here is what the person is trying to do:

I'll try to explain what the resident is trying to do.  She has a form that
she
created in Word that is 1 page and has several boxes divided different
sections
of the form (it's a preprinted prescription form).  She wants to copy that
form
into a poster.  The poster is created in Powerpoint.  It is a single page
document that will be printed out as a large poster by Kinko's (you know, the
research posters you see lining the walls of the College).  I hope that
explains it, I never know the right tech lingo.

Trust that this helps.

Perfectly.  Thanks!

For the output part of the deal:

Print posters or other large format output
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00537.htm

To get the Word form into PPT in the first place:

Set up Windows display properties to the highest possible resolution, even if this means
cutting back the color depth.

Bring up the form in Word and optionally, fill it in with dummy data.

Make it as big as possible on screen.

Press Alt+PrintScreen to snap a screenshot of it.

Switch to PowerPoint, go to the slide where this needs to appear and press Ctrl+V or
choose Edit, Paste  (you may also want to experiment with Edit, Paste Special and try
the different options).
