How to Convert Text to Powerpoint
You can save time when preparing a Powerpoint presentation by importing text directly into Powerpoint. Powerpoint can import rich text format (RTF) files and automatically create a presentation. To effectively convert text into Powerpoint, you can organize the text into an outline with indented levels within Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word provides a preview of the presentation in the outline view. You can also organize and format your content before you import the text into Powerpoint.
