Word Tip of the Day


Embed a PowerPoint slide in your Word document (Word 97/2000/2001/2002)


As you may know, you can use Microsoft PowerPoint's File | Send To | Microsoft Word command to convert an existing presentation into a printable Word document. But what if you just want to add a single presentation slide to an existing Word document? For instance, imagine you're working on a monthly sales report in Word. One of the slides in a PowerPoint presentation you recently created contains some key metrics and a chart you'd like to include in your Word report. You can easily embed a copy of the entire slide in your Word document.

First, open the presentation in PowerPoint. In the Slides pane (or in Slide Sorter view), select the slide you want to copy, and then click the Copy button. Now, switch to your Word document. Position the insertion point where you want the slide to appear, and then click the Paste button to add the slide. You can edit the slide within the Word document (not applicable in Word 2001) by double-clicking on it and then making your changes. The original presentation is unaffected. To change the embedded slide's size and layout, select it and then choose Format | Object (Format | Picture in Word 2001). Make the desired changes, and then click OK.
