Question on MS Word

I am working on a very large manual containing pages of
typed text in MS Word.  There are also PowerPoint Slides
that need to be inserted.  Presently I have the hard copy
of the manual completed with the typed text pages and
then blank pages where the slides should go.  My question
is how do I insert the PowerPoint slides into the
appropriate pages of this word document to produce a soft
copy of the entire manual that can be emailed to my boss?
I don't want the slides to be minimized as in inserting a
table; I need the full page slide to be inserted on its
own page in the order where it falls in the document.

Thank you very much for any assistance you can render me.

Here's one way.

First, put each PowerPoint slide in a separate PowerPoint file.

In Word, put the cursor where you want a slide to go, and use:
  Insert >> Object >> Create from file >> Browse
In the resulting "open-file-style" dialog box, select the PowerPoint file
for that spot in the document and click "OK".

(I have Word 97. Other versions might be a bit different.)

If the slides haven't been composed yet, you can save steps by using
  Insert >> Object >> Create new >> Microsoft PowerPoint slide
and composing each one in place.

how large is "very large"? Depending on the size, forgetting about
Insert | Object and using Insert | Picture instead can save a lot of
ressources. For that, you could leave your PPT-slides in one file and
either copy each slide in slide sorter view and (in Word) Paste special
| as picture. Alternatively you can also Save as "WMF" in PPT and Fill a
Folder of those files, then insert them in Word.

Which way is best also depends on what your boss needs to be able to do
with the document.
