PPT to EDITABLE Word document

[Holly R]

Hi. I've been asked to create a proposal (in Word, portrait mode) from a PPT
presentation (landscape mode) ... BUT... all text must be editable and images
positionable. (Send to Word creates a static image of each slide that can't
be edited.) Is there a way to translate ppt slides to a Word document -
ending up with one slide per page? Without copying and pasting content from
100 slides? Many thanks!

If you double click on the images, it will bring you into editing mode which
you can still edit and re-position them.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm think what I'm trying to do is break the link between ppt and word. I
CAN Send to Word, double click on each slide, then copy and paste the content
onto the word page. But for more than a few slides, it's pretty hard going!
What would be cool is a utility that would copy all the different types of
objects on each slide and place them as the same type of objects in the same
positions on a Word page. Hmmmm.

Not sure if you have tried Paste instead of Paste link though.
If you use Paste, when you double click on the images, you will still be
editing within Word itself.

Amen brother~ clients are enormously creative in their requests!

I tried save as wmf / emf but couldn't ungroup. (bummer)
Using clipboard appears to be the way to go - fill it up in ppt, then hop
over to word and dump it out. But it feels like moving an ocean with a
teaspoon. \

Amazing! Steve, you ROCK. I learned something new today - and laughed so
hard my sides hurt. Life is good. A perfect solution! (For me)

Now, how do I tell a (l)user to do it for 100+ slides?
For dozens of ppt presentations? Ack.

I still think there oughta be a utility that takes every object on a ppt
slide, notes its position, and writes a page in a word doc with the same
contents, in the same postions.

Thanks again - and have a good weekend.
