Reisville,
In order to use a Word outline effectively in Powerpoint you must format your Word document as follows: Apply the heading 1 style to all titles you want in the the Title Text placeholder in PowerPoint. Apply heading 2 to all text which should become bullet 1 level in the object placeholder Apply heading 3 to all text which should become bullet 2 level in the object placeholder Apply heading 4 to all text which should become bullet 3 level in the object placeholder Be aware that any text in your Word document that is set to normal will not import to Powerpoint. The question is have you done this. If you have post back and we will try to help some more. Luc "Reisville, NC" Reisville, schreef in bericht ...

Do you want the entire outline to appear on one page or the outline to create
your presentation (as Luc described)? Glenna "Reisville, NC" wrote: I am having difficulty in inserting a Word outline into a Power Point presentation. All the outline comes in on one or two slides. Any solutions? I am runnning office XP. |

Dear Glenna;
Thank you for responding. I am trying ot import or insert an outline from MS Word 2002 into P/P 20002. I want the outline to carry over int the outline format in P/P and generate slides for each Outlined point. I do this for sermon outlines presentations and it would be a big time saver to automatically create slides. Currently I am cutting and pasting all outline points and duplicating like major point slides to ease some of the repetition. I am not using bullets points, but am using Bible verse text as separate slides underneath points and subpoints. I have tried to do as Luc suggests (setting up the proper headings and text types) but the outline still comes over as one title slide (I. level point) and the rest as a second slide with related subpoints. Desired outcome would be a separate slide for all levels of the outline and associated sub-text. Example I. Introduction slide II. Main point slide A. Sub point one A. slide (main point reiterated above in gold type) 1. Sub2 point slide (Sub one point reiterated above in gold type) 2. slide text - slide text - slide B. Sub point B. (main point reiterated above in gold type) 1. slide 2. slide And so on . . . Any advice would be helpful. Thank you and may God bless you.

I tried a rather crude approach.
1) Develop your outline in word (I used the outline view) 2) Copy your whole outline 3) Paste into the outline pane (To the left of the main edit pane - select the outline tab) (This will give me one slide with my whole outline in the large edit pane) 4) In the outline pane, at the 'End' of each line of the outline I want on a new slide, I insert a carriage return (press enter key) (This will give me a new slide with the rest of my outline as the title text 5) Repeat for all the slides I want. It works, but is quite crude. A more elegant way is to get an outline program that can export your outline to PowerPoint. A recent one I used was VisiMap Professional 4 (http://www.coco.co.uk/prodvmpro.html). It creates and manipulates outlines very elegantly and when you are ready exports it PowerPoint using a slide for each branch. ....Tony O "Reisville, NC" wrote in message ...

Use styles in your Word document, and they'll transfer over to PPT very
nicely. Word Heading 1 = PPT title text Word Heading 2 = PPT 1st level bullet Word Heading 3 = PPT 2nd level bullet etc. So any time you're ready for a new slide, just make that text use the Heading 1 style in Word and it will become title text on a PPT slide. For the gold text and all that, you'll need to do the formatting in PPT. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Reisville, NC" wrote in message ... Dear Glenna; Thank you for responding.

You should get another slide every time you use the Heading 1 style in Word.
That style signals PPT to create title text, which creates a new slide. It works here. Also note that any text formatted in Word as "normal" style won't transfer over to PPT. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Tony Osime" wrote in message ...

Open Word.
Type in some text. For instance, maybe you type in something like this: This is my first PPT slide This is bullet one This is bullet two and its text is really long so it will probably wrap to two or more lines but that's okay because it doesn't matter really to PowerPoint This is bullet three This is another bullet point -- it's a subbullet to bullet #3 This is another bullet point -- it's also a subbullet to bullet #3 This is my second PPT slide This is bullet one on my second PPT slide This is another bullet on my second PPT slide -- it's a subbullet to bullet#1 After you type in your text, go add some styles. Select the text and then click on the appropriate style. Where the styles are listed depends on your version of Word. If you don't know, then consult the Word Help files. You want this text -- "This is my first PPT slide" -- to be a slide title in PPT. So in Word, apply the Heading 1 style to it. You want this text -- "This is my second PPT slide" -- to be a slide title in PPT, too. So in Word, apply the Heading 1 style to it. You want this text -- "This is bullet one" -- to be a primary (first-level) bullet in PPT. So in Word apply the Heading 2 style to it. Repeat for all other text that should be a primary bullet. That would include the following: This is bullet two and its text is really long so it will probably wrap to two or more lines but that's okay because it doesn't matter really to PowerPoint and This is bullet three and This is bullet one on my second PPT slide You want this text -- "This is another bullet point -- it's a subbullet to bullet #3" -- to be a subbullet to the primary bullet. In other words, it should be a secondary bullet. So in Word, apply the style Heading 3 to that text. Repeat for the other secondary bulleted text: This is another bullet point -- it's also a subbullet to bullet #3 and This is another bullet on my second PPT slide -- it's a subbullet to bullet#1 When you're finished applying the styles to your text, save the Word document. Then go open PPT and go to File/Open. Switch to "all files" at the bottom of the Open dialog box where it says "files of type." Then navigate to the Word document you just saved and select and open it. It should open in PPT, and your slide titles should be the text that you applied Heading 1 style to in Word. Alternatively, take the saved Word document with the styles applied and use File/Send to/PowerPoint to generate the slides. Now format your PPT file as desired by applying a design template or formatting stuff on the master or whatever. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Tony Osime" wrote in message ...
