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.

Do you want the entire outline to appear on one page or the outline to create
your presentation (as Luc described)?

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.

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.

Hi Echo S,

I tried your approach but it did not seem to work.
Does it give us multiple slides?

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.

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.
