From the article: Convert PowerPoint Slide Shows to Word Documents
Converting PowerPoint to a Word document allows your boss to quickly review your work and suggest possible edits. It is also a fast method of printing your slides or speaker notes. Do you have another use for this feature in PowerPoint -- something that others may benefit from, but had never thought of? Share your tips with us here. Share Your Tips
Resize all PowerPoint images
- when I transfer the powerpoint to word I want to get rid of the slide number (which I was able to do by deleting that column), and make each of the powerpoint images larger so that students can see them more clearly. I can go slide by slide in word and drag the corner, but I was wondering if there is a way to select all the slides and make them larger all at once?

Script for Voiceover
- I convert powerpoint to word so I can deliver voiceover scripts to the talent in the format they prefer. Only problem is file size. When I export to word, a 2MB file absolutely *explodes* to 30 MB. Yes, thirty megabytes. When I delete the previews of the slides, it's down to 30k.

PowerPoint to Word as Teaching Tool
- As a teacher in an adult business school, I've received some presentations from publishers or corporate in PowerPoint format. I always give my students a copy of my presentations. But unless the subject is image dense (e.g., anatomy), many subjects work better with an outline format. It takes more time to do the conversion because of formatting issues, but it makes the notes more understandable and retainable for the students.

Sending by email
- I convert my PowerPoint to Word for one of the obvious reasons -- I work in a satellite office and must submit my presentations for approval. Converting quickly to Word and then emailing it to my boss at head office makes it a small file in comparison to the original PowerPoint.
