use list as titles for other slides

[Dean]

I think I remember a way to automatically have a certain levels in the
outline view as titles for new slides but i can not figure out how to do
this. Can someone tell me if this is possible or am I thinking of some other
application?

Create your Word document. In the File menu (in Word) choose Send to
Microsoft Office PowerPoint. It will create a PowerPoint presenation.
Heading 1 styled text will be slide titles. Heading 2 styled text will be
the regular text box area, so you need to alternate Heading 1 Heading 2
(making one slide), Heading 1 Heading 2 (making another slide), ...

Thanks, I already did that part. What I am hoping to be able to do, is have
the 2nd level headings be Titles for new slides automatically, e.g. 1st slide
has 7 bullets, next 7 slides are automatically entitled with each of these
bullets, then add an 8th bullet and create an 8th slide.

Dean,
Are you looking for Expand Slides? If so, it was removed in PPT 2002. Lucky
for you, we all found a way to bring it back. Check out this entry in Steve
Rindsberg's PPT FAQ for more information:

OK. I think I misunderstood the question at first. I think that what you
want to do is possible in reverse by creating a Summary Slide, but I don't
think there are standard features that create the slides from a Summary
Slide. Of course, this could be done with VBA (anything can be done with
VBA...), but I don't know if you want to go down that path. Perhaps,
someone else has another solution.
