MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2007opening a word document in powerpoint please help!
Hi, I have a multiple choice test saved in word 2007 format. I want to convert the questions to powerpoint 2007 so that I can discuss the test with the class. What I would like is for each question and the four distractors to open up as a separate powerpoint slide. However, when I open the document in powerpoint it either says the outline is too long or it puts one line of text per slide. How do I format the the test in word to achieve what I want? Thanks. Tom Hi Tom There is a really easy way if you prep your word doc properly first. You need to put all your questions into Heading 1 style and all your answers into Heading 2 style. Save & close the doc, then in PowerPoint Home button -> new slide -> slides from outline -> navigate to your doc. PowerPoint will create a new slide everytime it comes across Heading 1 style (a question) and make anything in Heading 2 style (the answers) a bullet point. Make sense? Don't forget you can use the format painter to speed up the formatting of your doc. Or you could make the whole thing Heading 1, then use tab to demote the relevant stuff to Heading 2 when in outline view in Word.

I tried your suggestion, reformatted everything with heading 1 for questions and heading 2 for answers and then went to new slide open from outline and it does not create a new slide each time it finds a change in heading. Any ideas?? Tom > Glad to be of assistance :-) > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >> >> want? >> >> Thanks. Tom Hmmmm. Works fine for me... I just tested in 2007 to be sure What actually happens? Is it pulling the text across at all? Is it creating new slides and if so, when?
