In previous versions, if I sent a PPT to word, the text would appear in
Outline style, in other words, the slide titles would become Heading 1, the
level 1 bullets woudl become Heading 2 text and so on. This was great for
creating agendas and such. Now, it just exports all text, but does no
formatting at all. Any thoughts/suggestions?

It's working here. Are the text in PowerPoint formatted already?

I have the same thing happening. When I export to Word it all comes over as
regular text. It used to provide an outline which was great for TOC or
creating agendas.

I see the same problem here when sending the presentation to Word. But this
works for me:
- in Powerpoint go to "Save as"
- choose "Other Formats"
- "Save as type: Outline/RTF"

Than open the RTF-file in Word. I get an outline in Word with heading1 for
the title of the slides and heading2 for the first level of the bullet
points.

I'm glad to help!
But nevertheless I would prefer to have the "old" function back and get an
outline by sending to Word.
