3 Methods to Convert PowerPoint 2013 to Word

Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has been out for several months. I know that most of you, the Microsoft Office users have already updated to the latest version. I wrote two articles in the series of How to Convert PowerPoint to Word: 3 Methods to Convert PowerPoint to Word and 3 Methods to Convert PowerPoint Mac to Word. Both of them are welcomed. Then, this article is here, Methods to Convert PowerPoint 2013 to Word.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has very similar features in the side of conversion from PPT to DOC 2013. The ends of all the ways of powerpoint to word 2013 are extracting the texts in original PowerPoint presentations. Here we go!

Method 1: Send PowerPoint 2013 to Word

• Open your presentation with Microsoft PowerPoint 2013.
• Select FILE > Export > Ceate Handouts > Create Handouts

Select FILE tab:


Click Export in the list:


Select Create Handouts option and choose the Create Handouts in the right panel again:



• Then, you will be presented with a Send to Microsoft Word window. From here, choose the type of page layout you want. Such as, Notes next to slides, Blank lines next to slides, Notes below slides, Blank lines below slides and Outline only. Once you have selected a layout that you like, click OK to begin the conversion process.

• If you choose Blank lines next to slides, in your output word document, you will see:

In this format your options for additionally editing the presentation in Word are nearly limitless. If you choose Outline only, you won't get any pictures except the outline texts.

Method 2: Convert PowerPoint 2013 to Word in 'Save as'

• Click the File tab > Save As.
• Choose a Location > Choose a Folder, and in the File name box, enter a new name for the file.
• In the Save as type list, click Rich Text Format (.rtf). 

There are more formats that you can save the file in. For example, Web Page (.htm or .html), and Comma Delimited (.csv).

Method 3: Convert PowerPoint 2013 to Word with complete text
In the above two methods, not all of the text in PowerPoint 2013 will be output in the Word document. Now, you can use PDF documents as a bridge.

• Click the File tab.
• Click Save As. To see the Save As dialog box in PowerPoint 2013, you have to choose a location and folder.
• In the File Name box, enter a name for the file, if you haven't already.
• In the Save as type list, click PDF (*.pdf). If the document requires high print quality, click Standard (publishing online and printing). If the file size is more important than print quality, click Minimum size (publishing online). Click OK when finished.
• Click Save.
• Then, open the output PDF file and use Save as Text option from PDF to get all the texts from a PowerPoint but usually this option gets you the text in unformatted way.

How to Insert Excel to PowerPoint

When making a PowerPoint presentation, we always want to add more source materials to rich our slideshow, such as Excel worksheets. Of course, it's easy to insert a new table by clicking Insert > Table in PowerPoint. But embedding a pre-made excel spreadsheet has some benefits, such as, ability to link (sync) with the original spreadsheet.

1. Open the target PowerPoint document, click the place where you want to insert Excel worksheet.
2. Click Insert > Object in Text Tab.



3. Click Create from file in the pop-up dialog box and select the Excel document which is being embedded.



4. Finally, you will get the result below.

For modifying and showing different worksheet in PowerPoint slide, double-click the inserted worksheet to open Excel workbook. Now navigate through different sheets to view them in PowerPoint presentation slide. On modifying dataset in Excel spreadsheet, changes will be reflected in PowerPoint table as they both are linked (synced) together. Once done, Excel window can be closed.

How to Convert Word to PowerPoint

Besides inserting WORD into PowerPoint as an object, here is another way to convert a Word document, fulled with only text, to PowerPoint document. It relies on PowerPoint function - create a new slide from outline. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure the content in the word document which you want to convert to powerpoint is in order.
2. Open the word document, and format the content recording to the rules below:


• Head 1 content becomes Slide Titles
• Head 2 content becomes first level bulleted lists
• Go on and format more lines you want to display in powerpoint slide, in Head 3, Head 4...




3. Save and close the word document. Open powerpoint and click "New Slide", then choose "Slides from Outline".



4. Select the word document in the dialog box, then click Insert.
5. Then, this is what you will get finally.

Microsoft Office 2013 and Microsoft Office 365 Would Be Here on Jan 29

Microsoft Office 365 was confirmed to be released on Jan 29, 2013.

Microsoft has remained quiet on the release date of Office 365 for a long time, while many consumers are waiting. As spotted by Neowin.net, listings for Office 365 appeared on Canadian retailer Future Shop’s website on Jan 18, and they not only gave us a look at the software’s retail packaging, but they also gave us an idea of when copies will begin shipping: the release date for Office 365: January 29.

According a tweet by the Microsoft Office Twitter account, Microsoft will be launching Office 2013 and Office 365 on Jan 29 in Bryant Park in New York City.

For Companies
Actually, Microsoft has released Office 2013 to manufacturing on October 11 last year, and they made it available to MSDN and TechNet subscribers later on. The company has been pointing to Q1 2013 release date for awhile, and now its finally official.

For Desktop Users
Office 2013 has been available for the Surface tablet for some time, as well OEM Windows 8 machines, but tomorrow will mark the point where desktop users who don’t have the new Office suite will finally be able to grab a version for themselves, as well as take advantage of the new Office 365 subscription service.

For Mobile Devices Users
Back in November, we were teased with a few leaked screenshots of Office for iOS and Android. While we haven’t heard anything on that front for awhile, we’re curious if Microsoft will make the apps available tomorrow, but we also won’t be surprised if they wait a little while to make the software available on mobile devices. Also, just recently, Microsoft and the City of Chicago signed a deal that would see some 30,000 city employees move to Office 365 for their communication needs, a deal that will see the new subscription service jump to a great start right off the bat.

According to the existing information, we can check a part of details about the new suites.

Office 365 University, allows a user to install the program on up to two PCs or Macs and gives that one user a four-year subscription to the suite of programs. The price of admission for University comes in at $79.99 CAD, which is in line with what Microsoft has previously announced for the US.

On the other side of the coin, below you see the packaging for the Home Premium version, which will allow you to install the Office suite on up to five PCs or Macs. Though the packaging doesn’t come with a price, Microsoft previously announced a yearly subscription of $99.99 (that’s US dollars) for Home Premium.
