Instead of importing slides from a Word document or other text-based document, as described in the preceding section, you can simply open the Word document in PowerPoint. PowerPoint starts a new presentation file to hold the imported text. This saves some time if you are starting a new presentation anyway, and you don’t have any existing slides to merge with the incoming content.

To open a Word document in PowerPoint, follow these steps:

1. Choose Office Button?Open. The Open dialog box appears.
2. Change the file type to All Outlines.
3. Select the document.
4. Click Open. The document outline becomes a PowerPoint presentation, with all Heading 1 paragraphs becoming title slides.

You can’t open or insert a Word outline in PowerPoint if it is currently open in Word. This limitation is an issue only for Word files, not plain text or other formats.
