PPT2000: How to Copy Multiple Slides into a Word Document (198200)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q198200

SYMPTOMS

If you copy more than one slide from the Slide Sorter and paste it into a non-PowerPoint file, such as a Word document, you see only the first slide. If you double-click the image of the first slide, PowerPoint starts and runs a slide show of the slides that you copied.

CAUSE

PowerPoint provides two kinds of OLE objects: slides and presentations. Both types of objects appear in your Word document as a single slide. You create a PowerPoint slide object by copying a single slide from the Slide Sorter and pasting it into another document. You create a PowerPoint presentation object by copying several slides from the slide sorter and pasting them into another document.

RESOLUTION

There are 2 methods for copying your PowerPoint slides to Microsoft Word.

Method 1

To have more than one slide image appear in your Word document, copy the slides one at a time from Slide Sorter view.

Method 2

Use the Send to Word feature to send your entire presentation to Microsoft Word.
  1. From the File menu, point to Send To, and click Microsoft Word.
  2. Select the desired Page Layout, and whether you want to Paste or Paste Link the slides into Microsoft Word.
  3. Click OK.

REFERENCES

If you want an image of every slide in a presentation sent to a Word document, on the PowerPoint File menu, point to Send to, and click Microsoft Word.
