This is not working for me. I used microsoft predetermined headings throughout my document and when i try sending it to pwr point through word as suggested it opens a pwr point document but the screen is blue (its not there) the same happens if i havge a blank power point open. I also tried opening the word document through all files and all outlines and it would say its loading but cancel or something and go to a new presentation!!!! please help!!

the only concern that may be affecting it is the word document is fairly large and has some charts and pictures

This is wonderful. I am a university professor and am always trying to teach/assist students with shortcuts and navigation tips and was lost without this function. Thanks so much for the direction.

Hi Tim,

That is a great trick! Hope you don’t mind, I shared it with my readers at my Office 2007 help site – with full kudos to you of course!

Cheers,

OK, I figured it out–the command does work but only with the built-in Word headings (whereas in Office 2003 you could convert documents with custom styles/custom outline levels).

Please let me know if anyone finds a workaround. Thanks.

Just FYI, I am using custom styles but they are all correctly assigned outline levels.

I attempted to use this command with a docx document in Word 2007, but after processing for a few seconds it tells me that the location where I am trying to save the document is inaccessible, and that it may be full, write-protected, etc.

Also, I attempted to import the Word document using PPT 2007 using the Convert Outline to Slides command, and after a long period of processing (the progress bar inches along to about 3/4 finished), it just stops with no error message.

This is so frustrating! This is supposed to be one of the beauties of using MS Office….
