How do I insert a word document into a Powerpoint slide

[thatbadgirl]

When I cut and paste, the document is too big for the slide.

Thatbadgirl,
That is to be expected, a complete Word document in a PPT presentation is
too much. If the document has headings you can insert only those using
Insert - Slides from outline - select your Word file - PPT will make a new
slide for each heading one, add bullets for each heading 2, 3 ...
If you want to show the Word document in Word itself and then return to your
presentation consider using Insert - Object - Radio button From file -
Microsoft Word document - select the document click OK, consider putting a
check next to insert as icon. In any case you will be able to click on it
during your slideshow, Word will open with the document, close Word and you
will be back where you started in Powerpoint.

Thank you for your assistance. I understand what you have written, but my
problem is this. I am doing an educational portfolio. I have to type 16-1
page reflective papers. (which are to be double spaced). I was typing them in
word to make sure I met the one page criteria. The lady that is reviewing my
portfolio is very picky. don't think she will want to do a lot of clicking.
Do you have any further suggestions?

Then why are you putting them in PowerPoint at all? I suspect they won't be
readable on a slide.

Can your portfolio be a PDF or something, or does it have to be PPT?

Or how about a screen grab of the page? Again, it probably won't be
readable.

How about a link to open the Word document?

It has to be a powerpoint presentation. I have to display pictures and
documents I have scanned.

So maybe they meant one page in PPT, not in Word?

I think I am going to have to settle with putting a link to the word
document. OK I placed a link on the slide. When I double click on it, the
document opens. However, when I start the slide show, and get to the slide,
it doesn't work? What am I doing wrong?

You need to go to custom animation and set an "object action" > open
