Converting Powerpoint to Word problem
I have a 2007 Powerpoint presentation with 234 slides--all but about 10 of them are pictures. Every time I try to convert the presentation into Word, it goes into a loop at around slide 171 and refuses to convert the remainder of the slides (the content of the slide that crashes has varied over time). Any ideas? Also is there a way to put more than 3 slides on each page--I am killing a lot of trees each time I print this out for editing.
I also want to print just the notes--as a script--to use with the presentation--but without the slides. Is there any way to do that? |

To prevent the crash when sending the presentation to Word, the quickest way may be to just open the presentation and do Save As 3 times...just to be safe. Then open the first copy and delete slides 81-234. Open the second copy and delete slides 1-80 and 161-234, then open the 3rd copy and delete slides 1-160. Send the 3 copies to Word files separately, then combine the Word docs into a single doc with all 234 slides. I don't know how to get more than 3 slides per page in the Word doc. As for exporting or printing just the notes... ***You may find it easier to do this with the 3 Word docs created when sending your 3 presentation copies to Word. After sending your presentation to Word, select the entire contents of the Word doc, select copy, open a new blank Word doc, and paste. Then, click the Paste Options icon that appears at the very end of the pasted content and choose Keep Text Only. You now have a Word doc with only slide numbers and notes text. As an alternate way to get the notes into a file by themselves, here's a link to a VBA script that will apparently do what you want. http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00481.htm I haven't tried it myself and you'd have to be at least fairly geeky to take it on, but if you're comfortable with that it may be what you want. I hope that helps...good luck, George |

Regarding the more than 4 pics on a page, I use a blank page and put frames on the page (with Insert > Shapes) - similar as in Word. Then I fill those fromes with the pics. Example:
