How to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation

OnlyOffice fillable form

Whether you’re more comfortable working in PowerPoint or you’d like to present the content of your Word document in a different way, we’ve got you covered, There are a few different ways to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation. If you have a Microsoft 365 account, you can use Word for the Web to make the conversion or you can do it directly with PowerPoint. There’s another option, too. Don’t want to convert your document to a presentation, but still need to use it as a reference? You can insert it as an object directly in a slide. If this all sounds super complicated, don’t worry. We’ll guide you each step of the way.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using Word for the Web

First, open your web browser and log in to Office. Once logged in, open the document you want to convert in Word for the Web, and click the “File” tab in the top-left corner of the window.

Click file

IDG / Marshall Gunnell

Click “Export” in the left-hand pane and select “Export to PowerPoint Presentation (Preview).”

Export to PowerPoint option

The Export to Presentation window will appear. Here, select the design theme you’d like to use and click “Export.”

Choose a design theme

Word for the Web will then begin preparing your new presentation. Once ready, click “Open Presentation.”

Click open presentation

Your presentation will open in PowerPoint for the Web. If you need a local copy, you can always download it by going to File > Save as > Download a Copy.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using PowerPoint

You can convert your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation using PowerPoint itself, but you’ll need to make sure your Word document is properly formatted for the conversion first. For content that you want to use as a slide title, make sure you give it the Heading 1 style. For content you want to use as text in the slide, give it the Heading 2 style.

Once you’re ready, open PowerPoint and make sure you’re in the “Home” tab. Next, select “New Slide” in the ribbon and then “Slides from Outline” from the bottom of the menu that appears.

Insert slides from outline

From here, locate the Word document you want to use, select it, and click “Insert.”

Insert a Word document

PowerPoint will then do its thing. While this way isn’t as good as using Word for the Web, it’ll still get the job done.

Insert Your Word Document as an Object in Your Presentation

If you’re not interested in converting your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation, you can insert it as an object for quick access.

Before we proceed, it’s important you understand the difference between the two types of objects you can insert your document as: Linked or Embedded.

The main difference between the two is where the data is stored. If you embed the object in your presentation, the data from that object is stored in the presentation. This is good if you’re worried about the location of the word document changing (which can break a linked object), but it will increase your file size. A linked object only inserts a link to the source file. In other words, the data from the object isn’t stored in the presentation—it simply links to it. This will keep your file size down, but that link may break if the source file is moved to a different location.

To insert your Word document as an object in your presentation, open your presentation and navigate to the slide you would like to add the object to. From there, click the “Insert” tab and select “Object.”

Insert an Object option

The Insert Object window will appear. Select “Create from File and click “Browse.”

Browse for your word file

Locate and select the document you would like to insert. Once inserted, you have two choices. You can either display the entire Word document in the PowerPoint slide or simply display the document icon. If you choose the latter, the document will open in Word when selected.

Choose how to insert the document

Click “OK” to insert the object. That’s all there is to it!

This wikiHow article will show you the best way to convert a Microsoft Word document into a PowerPoint presentation on your PC or Mac. By making a few quick formatting changes to your document, you can import the document into PowerPoint and automatically create pre-formatted slides without having to retype anything!

Formatting the Document Before Converting

Step 1 Separate the Word document into sections with titles.

  • Each section needs a title at the top, and the title should be on its own line. The title will then become the title of that section's PowerPoint slide.
  • For example, let's say the first page of your Word document contains sales information that you'd like to appear on a PowerPoint slide called "Sales." At the top of that section, you'd type "Sales" as the title, since you want that to be the name of your slide. Below that would be the content of the slide.
  • Press Enter or Return after each section so there's at least one empty line between the end of a section and the title of the next slide.

Step 2 Navigate to the

  • If you don't see style examples on the toolbar, click the Styles menu to view them.

Step 3 Highlight the title of your first slide/section.

  • Once you change the first title to "Header 1," go through the rest of your document and do the same with other slide titles. You'll want all of the titles to be set to this style so they'll convert properly.

Step 5 Highlight the rest of the content on your first page.

  • Make sure you have at least one blank line between the title and the rest of the page's content.

Step 6 Select Heading 2 on the Styles panel.

  • In the content area, press the Enter or Return key to add space between every block of text you want separated on the slide. Every individual line or paragraph will be a different bullet on your final slide.

Step 7 Add sub-bullets using Heading 3 (optional).

  • Text formatted with "Heading 3"

Step 8 Separate each slide with a blank line.

  • If you delete the spaces between lines or try to add new text, it may not be formatted correctly, so always do this step last.

Step 10 Save the document.

  • Close Word when you're finished so there are no conflicts with PowerPoint in the remaining steps.

Converting to PowerPoint

Step 1 Open PowerPoint.

  • Every title you set to "Header 1" appears on its own slide, along with its corresponding content, which you set to "Header 2."
  • You can now design the slides however you'd like using all of your favorite PowerPoint tools.
  • Word will not automatically convert images for you—you will have to manually add the images into your presentation.

Step 6 Save the file as a PowerPoint presentation.

How to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation.

A woman at a desk converting a Word document to PowerPoint on her laptop.

Transform your Microsoft Word documents into engaging presentations with these simple steps to learn how to convert Word to PowerPoint.

Word documents are great for creating and editing, but they’re not always ideal for sharing. The best way to put your written thoughts into a shareable format is to convert your Word document to a PowerPoint online.

How to convert Word to PowerPoint in 3 steps.

Creating a captivating PowerPoint presentation from your Word document is a straightforward process that can be accomplished in just a few steps. By properly formatting your content, converting it to a PDF, and seamlessly transforming the PDF into a PowerPoint file, you can produce an engaging and visually appealing presentation.

Step 1: Format the document before you convert Word to PPT.

Before changing from a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation, it’s crucial to properly format your content for a seamless transition. By organizing your document, applying appropriate styles, and making necessary customizations, you can ensure a visually appealing and well-structured presentation. Here are the essential steps to format your document before converting it to a PowerPoint slideshow:

  • Separate the Word document into sections with titles.
  • Navigate to the Styles menu.
  • In the document, highlight the title of your first slide or section.
  • From the Styles panel, click the style named Heading 1 to apply it to the highlighted text. This style will indicate the main titles of your PowerPoint slides.
  • Continue by highlighting the rest of the content on your first page.
  • Select Heading 2 from the Styles panel to apply it to the highlighted text. This style is used for subtitles or content within each slide.
  • Optionally, for more sub-bullets or subsections, you can use the Heading 3 style from the Styles panel.
  • To create a separation between slides, add a blank line by pressing Enter or Return before each new title. This ensures that each slide is separated within the document.
  • Customize your text if desired. After setting up the outline, you can modify the size, color, and font of your text. These customizations will carry over when you convert the document to PowerPoint.

Step 2: Save the Word document as a PDF.

The first step to converting a Word document to PowerPoint is to change it into a PDF. Luckily, it’s easy to convert Word to PDF right from your web browser with an online PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat online services:

  • Visit the PDF editor website.
  • Upload the Word document you want to convert.
  • Select the file type (usually DOC or DOCX).
  • Download your newly created PDF.

Unlike Word documents, PDFs maintain their formatting no matter which device you use to view them. While they might be great for sending, there’s still one more step to take if you want to make your Word document presentation-worthy.

Step 3: Convert the PDF to PPT.

Now that you saved your Word document as a more manageable file type, you can convert the document to a PowerPoint by following similar steps:

  • Navigate to the PDF to PPT tool .
  • Upload your PDF file.
  • Download the new PPT file.

All the information in your Word document will now be in a share-friendly PowerPoint. Simply add a few images and slide transitions, and you’ll be ready for your next big presentation.

Best practices when converting Word to PPT files.

Before converting your Word document into a captivating PowerPoint presentation, it’s essential to follow best practices that will optimize your content and ensure a seamless transformation. By implementing the following guidelines, you can enhance the visual appeal and effectiveness of your presentation:

  • Simplify the content . Remove excessive text and focus on key points that will enhance the visual impact of your presentation.
  • Utilize headings and subheadings . Structure your document using headings and subheadings to create a clear hierarchy and aid in slide creation.
  • Optimize images . Resize and compress images to reduce file size and improve the performance of your PowerPoint presentation.
  • Review and edit . Thoroughly proofread your Word document before conversion, checking for any spelling or grammatical errors that may carry over into the PowerPoint presentation.
  • Preserve consistency . Maintain consistent formatting throughout your document, including font styles, colors, and alignments, to create a cohesive and professional presentation.
  • Test the converted presentation . After conversion, review the converted PowerPoint presentation to ensure all elements, formatting, and transitions are accurately rendered. Make any necessary adjustments or edits as needed.

After I convert Word to PPT, can I convert it back?

Yes, if you need to revert, it’s possible to convert PowerPoint to Word again, though there are some limitations. When converting from PowerPoint to Word, the content is primarily changed into a basic outline format. This means that complex formatting, images, animations, and other visual elements may not be preserved. However, if you need to extract text content or create a document with a simplified structure, converting a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document can be helpful.

Steps to convert PowerPoint to Word:

  • Open the PowerPoint presentation you want to convert.
  • Click the File menu and select Save As.
  • In the Save As dialog box, choose a name and location to save the converted Word document.
  • In the “Save as type” dropdown menu, select “Rich Text Format (.rtf)” or “Plain Text (.txt)” as the file format.
  • Once saved, you can open the converted file in Microsoft Word or any compatible word-processing software to access the textual content.

Note: Remember that the converted Word document will primarily consist of a basic outline format, and any complex formatting or visual elements may not be preserved.

Not all presentations have to be made in PowerPoint. If your presentation's content is in a Word document (DOCX file), there are a couple of ways to turn your document into a PowerPoint presentation (PPTX file).

You can easily  convert a Word document to a PowerPoint file on the web . It's an easy process, but you do have to upload your document to Microsoft's web app. If you'd rather work with your file locally, there's a way to do that on your PC.

Microsoft Word's desktop app doesn't offer the above feature to automatically convert Word files to PowerPoint. Instead, it uses a manual workaround to convert your files.

This workaround involves formatting your Word document in a way that PowerPoint accepts and then importing the document into the PowerPoint app.

First, Format the Word Document

The first step is to make your Word document PowerPoint compatible. To do this, apply the H1 header style to all headers and the H2 header style to all paragraphs in your document.

Start by opening your document with Microsoft Word. In the Word window, select a header in your document.

While the header is selected, in the "Styles" section at the top of the Word window, click the "Heading 1" style. Do this for all the headers in your document.

Next, select the paragraph beneath your header. Then, in the "Styles" section at the top, click "More," and then select "Heading 2." Format all of your document paragraphs this way.

Finally, click File > Save in Word's menu bar to save the document. (Alternatively, press Ctrl+s on Windows or Command+s on Mac.)

Close the document in Word.

Next, Import the Word Document into PowerPoint

Your Word document is now ready to be imported into PowerPoint and converted into a presentation.

Start the import process by opening PowerPoint on your computer. On the first screen in PowerPoint, click "Blank Presentation" to make a new presentation.

In the PowerPoint editing window that opens, click the "Home" tab at the top. Then, in the "Slides" section at the top, click the arrow icon beside "New Slide."

Select "Slides from Outline" in the menu that appears.

PowerPoint will ask you to select the file to import into your presentation. Here, select the Word document that you formatted earlier.

Your Word document will now be converted into a PowerPoint presentation. Each "Header 1" in your Word document will now have a dedicated slide in the presentation. Review this presentation and make changes to it if you want.

Lastly, save the presentation by clicking File > Save in PowerPoint's menu bar.

And that's all. Your Word document is now ready to be presented to your audience!

Now that you're done, if you have a PowerPoint presentation that you'd like to convert to Word , there's a way to do that, too.

How to Convert a Word Document into a PowerPoint Presentation

Easily convert a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation by formatting the document with proper Headings to automatically create separate slides in the presentation.

Kazim Ali Alvi

If you are heavily invested in Microsoft Office and use it for both personal and professional purposes, chances are you might need to convert your document from one format to another. One of the most common conversions users generally go with is Word document to PowerPoint presentation.

Copy/pasting the content of a document in a presentation is not feasible if the document is lengthy. Also, with the conversion feature embedded right into Microsoft Word, the need to use such outdated concepts negates. The feature to convert uses Artificial Intelligence for the job and is highly effective.

Preparing the Document for Converting into a Presentation

It is fairly easy to convert, given, you are aware of the basic formatting. All you have to do is format the text using the various heading options available in Microsoft Word.

The conversion process will use the Headings in your Word document and create separate slides based on the same into a PowerPoint presentation.

Since we are discussing the basics of the subject, we will only be using ‘Heading 1’ for slide’s Title in the converted presentation and ‘Heading 2’ as the slide content. You can similarly use the other available options in the ‘Style’ section of Word to enhance the clarity and quality of the presentation.

To format the titles, highlight them and then select ‘Heading 1’ from the ‘Styles’ section at the top. Remember, this will be used as the slide title in the PowerPoint presentation after being converted.

word doc presentation

For the text under the heading, you can use other heading options. Again, highlight the content under the topic and select ‘Heading 2’. Since this will be nested under the Heading 1 that we previously used, the conversion process will put it as the slide content for the heading.

word doc presentation

You can similarly format the rest of the document and make it readable and ready for conversion.

After you format the text, the text color will change to blue, which can be changed later on, using the themes options in Word.

To change the theme, go to the ‘Design’ tab at the top and then select the suitable document formatting from the listed options.

word doc presentation

In this case, we have used ‘Basic (Stylish)’ and the text now looks green which is catchy and enhances the visual appeal of a presentation.

Converting Word Document to Presentation

There are two ways you can convert your document to a presentation, either through Microsoft Word or through Microsoft PowerPoint. However, for both methods, you will have to format the text in headings (for slide titles) and sub-headings (for slide content) structure in the document so that it can be converted.

Converting with Microsoft Word

After you have formatted the document, you will need to add the option to convert a document to presentation in the app’s toolbar, if not enabled currently, which will then be added to the top of Microsoft Word.

Click on the ‘File’ menu at the top-left corner to view the various options.

word doc presentation

You can now view the information of the current document along with a bunch of features on the left. To enable the conversion icon, select ‘Options’ from the list on the left.

word doc presentation

The ‘Word Options’ window will open, select the ‘Quick-Access Toolbar’ tab on the left.

word doc presentation

You can now customize the quick access toolbar from this section. Click on the box under ‘Choose commands from’ and select ‘All Commands’ from the drop-down menu.

word doc presentation

Next, scroll down and look for ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ from the list and click on ‘Add’ to enable it. The options are listed in alphabetical order; therefore, it wouldn’t be difficult to locate it. After you have added the feature to Microsoft Word, click on ‘OK’ at the bottom to save the changes and close the window.

word doc presentation

Now, to convert the document into a PowerPoint presentation, click on ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ icon that we just added in the instructions above. You can find it above the ribbon bar in Word.

word doc presentation

After you click on ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ icon, the conversion process will begin. It may take some time depending on the document type and length to convert it. Once the conversion is done, the document will now be in form of a presentation, differentiated by the headings we used earlier.

word doc presentation

Converting with Microsoft PowerPoint

The process to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint Presentation is intricate in Microsoft Word, however, it is pretty straightforward and simple in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Open a new presentation on Microsoft PowerPoint and then select the ‘Insert’ tab at the top.

word doc presentation

In the ‘Insert’ tab, you will see the option to add various items to the presentation. Since we are here to add a document, click on the ‘New Slide’ icon, the first option from the left. Next, select ‘Slides from Outline’ from the drop-down menu.

word doc presentation

The ‘Insert Outline’ window will open where you can locate and select the document which you want to convert. After you have selected the document, click on ‘Insert’ at the bottom to convert and add to Microsoft PowerPoint.

word doc presentation

The Word document is now converted to a PowerPoint presentation and the content is distributed between slides by the heading levels that we earlier formatted.

word doc presentation

Converting a document to a presentation might have seemed like a herculean task earlier, but it won’t be the case from now on. You can use either of the two methods discussed above for the conversion and save yourself from the hassle of copy/paste. Also, do remember to format the text accurately to attain effective results.
