how do I insert a word doc into a pwr pt. presentation?

I need to insert a word document into a power point presentation. How do I do
this?

What functionality do you want from the Word document from within
PowerPoint?

Just the first page shown?
The document to open when clicked on?
Each page on a new slide?

This will make a huge difference in how the document gets inserted. To keep
things easy, also let us know what version of PowerPoint you are using.

The document has several pages. It is a referee report. To be able to put
this on a page at a time is exactly what I want to do. The power point
version - I am not sure - The software was installed in 2003 with my new lap
top. The best I can find is microsoft office 2000.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

The best solution is to "print" each page of the document to a graphic file.
This is very easy with a product such as SnagIt by TechSmith. On my
computer, I simply choose the SnagIt Printer and it saves each page of the
document out as a PNG file which can be inserted into a presentation.

I have seen others use the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer to do
this, but it involves more steps. You could also save each of the pages as
a PDF, then convert from PDF to image format. Again, more steps, same
result.

If you just insert the document into PowerPoint you will get a Word object
that will need to be activated in order to view subsequent pages. For one
page per slide, image files are the route I would go.
