In this article, we have discussed the ways using which you can convert word documents to PowerPoint presentations. It has always been troublesome to transform Word documents into PowerPoint presentations. The quality of the output has never been satisfying enough to impress the viewers irrespective of whether you are relying on any online Word to PowerPoint converter or pasting/importing the content manually.

Well, Microsoft has addressed this issue and recently introduced a new feature that lets users generate PowerPoint presentation files from Word documents. Individuals need to use Microsoft Word’s web-based version to convert Word documents to PowerPoint.

Transform Word Documents into PowerPoint Presentations

Before we proceed to the instructions to transform word documents into PowerPoint presentations, let’s see what are the limitations of this newly introduced feature. As of now, this feature is only available in English. Also, it isn’t compatible with either Safari or Internet Explorer. Alongside this, at present, it only supports content in text format, and the media content in other formats like images and more won’t get added automatically to the PowerPoint presentations. However, once the presentation is created, you can always add media to it afterward. Now, with all that said, let’s proceed further to the steps on how to generate PowerPoint presentations from Word documents.

Steps to Convert Word Documents to PowerPoint Presentations

So, what are the steps to convert Word documents to PowerPoint presentations? Well, you may go through the instructions listed below:

  1. Visit the Office webpage on your browser and open the Word document on it.
  2. Further, you need to upload your Word document to OneDrive so that you can open it from the web version of Word. Tap on “File,” once it opens up.
  3. Now, press “Transform,” and then click on “Transform to PowerPoint presentation” under that section, and allow the next page to load.
  4. Now you need to pick a theme for your presentation. Select from the list of templates available and tap on “Transform.” This will allow the system to generate a PowerPoint presentation file.
  5. Allow the system to generate a new PPT file based on your Word document.
  6. Once the file is ready, you can open it by clicking on “Open Presentation.” Meanwhile, you can also access the transformed file from OneDrive.

Generated Presentation File First Impressions

We tried testing this feature by downloading a Word document sample and later converting it into a PowerPoint presentation. The resultant output was pretty useable for presentation purposes with just a little modification. Moreover, as Microsoft states, with the help of AI, there’s also the addition of relevant icons, imagery, fonts, themes, and videos to the PowerPoint presentations during their transformation process. With all that said, if Microsoft somehow manages to add media transferring capabilities to this recently launched tool, it would be of more use.

So, these were the instructions regarding how to convert word documents to PowerPoint presentations. The steps demonstrated above; will let you easily create PowerPoint presentations with little effort.
