[QUOTE="maransreth, post: 3082818, member: 4390"] Hi, What you are proposing is definitely possible. When you have finished in Word, save your document, then go to the File menu> Send to>Microsoft Office Powerpoint. This will send your notes to Powerpoint. The problem is that all the notes could go to one slide, instead of separate slides. The best way to ensure that the notes go in slides as you wish, is to use styles. What I mean here is at the start of the Formatting toolbar, you should see a box that could say Normal, or Heading 1, etc. These are the default styles within Word. Anything you want as the start of a new slide (that is the title) should be Heading 1. Each main note should be as Heading 2, subpoints Heading 3, etc all the way to Heading 6. Once the notes are in Powerpoint, you can edit as you wish. By this I mean add graphics, spellcheck, etc. If you wish to add animation (the text flys in, etc) you need to apply animation for each slide. Now the way to do this will depend upon which version of Powerpoint you have. A way, regardless of version is to go to the Slide Sorter view, available under the View menu>Slide Sorter view. Then go to the Slide Show menu and there will be either Animation Scheme or Custom Animation. These options are how to add the flying text. Then hopefully there will be an option to Apply to All Slides. If you have any problems, let us know, but also try Microsoft Help. [/QUOTE]
