How do I use Header outlines from a word document in my Powerpoint Presentation?

RE: Headers

Hello Katie

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

I assume you are referring to using Heading styles in Word and exporting an outline of the Word document to PowerPoint?

If you format headings in a Word document using Heading styles (Headings 1, 2, and 3) then you can export the Word document to PowerPoint and it will use these headings to create slides and bulleted points for you.

To apply heading styles in Word:

1. Place your cursor within the heading you want to apply a heading style to, go to Format-Styles and Formatting. A task pane will open on your screen.
2. Click on the Heading style you wish to apply.
3. When finished save your Word document in outline view (View - Outline) as an .rtf (rich text format) file.

To export the Word document to PowerPoint:
1. In PowerPoint, go to Insert - Slides from Outline.
2. Navigate to and select the .rtf file, and click the Insert button.

PowerPoint tip:

Getting animations to play in slide show view

If you have a presentation that you know contains animations, but they are not playing in slide show view, try the following:

1. Go to Slide Show - Set up Show.

2. In the 'Show options' section of the dialogue box that appears, check to see if the box next to 'Show without animation' has been checked.

3. Remove the check and click OK - you should now be able to see the animations play in slide show view.
