Microsoft Word is a good program, if you're trying to write, but it's not much for presenting on the screen. PowerPoint is a good program for presenting, but most of your content is probably in Word. How to get it out of Word and into PowerPoint?

Well, you could start afresh in a new PowerPoint document, or you could use Word's outlining feature. If you've written your document using Header and Normal styles, then, if you switch your view to Outline, you'll see that your information is conveniently organized in outline form.

Now clean up your outline, discarding information you don't want in PowerPoint and tightening up the wording here and there. Save the outline.

Launch PowerPoint, select File > Open, and, from the "Files of Type" drop-down menu select "All Outlines." Open your Word outline and, voila, instant PowerPoint. All top-level entries will be slides, everything in that will be bullets, all ready to be easily modified using PowerPoint's templates. And, best of all, you did your content writing where it was easy, in Word.
