How to Export a Word Outline
Instead of sending a PowerPoint presentation to Word, you can use an existing Word outline as the basis for a new presentation. PowerPoint automatically formats the outline based on the styles, paragraph indents and tabs you used in the original Word document. To export a Word outline into PowerPoint, save the Word document in rich text format (.rtf). To do this, open the document in Word, then choose Save As from the File menu. Click the Save As Type drop-down list arrow at the bottom of the window, choose Rich Text Format, then click Save. Now switch to PowerPoint, and choose Open from the File menu. Click the Files Of Type drop-down list arrow, then choose All Files from the list. Find your Word file, and double-click it to open it within PowerPoint. Then, modify and save the new presentation just as you would any other.
