How to Insert PowerPoint Slides Into a Word Document
Slides from an existing PowerPoint presentation can be inserted as an image into a blank document or an existing document.
Open an existing or blank Word document, then position the cursor where you want to insert the PowerPoint slide. Go to the Insert tab and select Add from Files. Select the PowerPoint file that contains the slides you want to add to the Word document. If the file isn’t listed, select Show More Files to browse the filesystem and choose a file. In the Insert From File panel, find the slide you want to insert as an image and select Insert Slide to insert it into the document. The slide appears as an image. It can only be edited with photo tools. Use the Picture Format menu to adjust each inserted slide.
Considerations
In old versions of Microsoft Office, it sometimes made sense to export PowerPoint content into Word to mark it up with the speaker’s notes and other information. However, PowerPoint has advanced such that these workarounds no longer prove as helpful.
PowerPoint presentations can be exported in different formats including PDF, several image formats, several movie formats, and a rich-text outliner format. Use these export formats as an alternative to a multi-step Word process.
