How to quickly convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation

First, open the Word document, select all, and perform the copy command. Then, start PowerPoint, select Normal view, and click the Outline tab (Figure 1); If you don't have the outline and Slides tabs, the method appears on the View menu, click Normal (Restore pane), or in the lower-left corner of the window, click the Normal view (Restore pane) button.

Simply select outline view, position the cursor over the first slide, and perform the paste command to insert all the contents of the Word document into the first slide. Then, you can set the text format as needed, include font, font size, font, color and alignment of the word, and then position the cursor to the next slide, press ENTER directly to create a new slide, and press [Shift+enter] if you want to insert a blank line.

After adjusting, you can quickly finish making multiple slides (Figure 2). Finally, you can use the Outlining toolbar to make further adjustments with buttons such as upgrade, demote, move up, move down, and so on.

Conversely, if you convert a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document, you can also use the outline view to quickly finish. The method is to position the cursor at the beginning of a slide other than the first, press [BackSpace] (BACKSPACE), repeat it multiple times, merge all the slides into one, and then select them all, by copying and pasting into Word.
