I've never really used it and now I have to transfer a 70 page word doc to a presentation.

Any pointers?

Do I have to c&p this or is there an easier way?

I'm not sure if there's an easier way, I don't know many shortcuts with Office because I never take the time to learn it better.

But I feel ya, I have to create a presentation this week and I dread it, mostly for the content.
Good luck

yikes a 70 page document to PPT???
LOL

Can you summarize it? a 70 slide power point presentation is going to be a pain in the ass to handle lol

If the person wants you to bring the entire 70 page document, you're probably better off converting the 70 page document into a PDF and using that as a presentation medium.

Never thought of that...I'll mention it to him tomorrow. I can reduce the size, he has a font of like 30 something in most of if, no need, I'm making it pretty for him, but it's copy and paste all the way.

Yeah if you need the whole document, just convert it to PPT and make copies. If it's for a presentation to a group, you wouldn't want to copy that into PPT anyway - it would be impossible to read.

If it has to be a PPT, here are some real general PPT tips:
- Don't write out full sentences - summarize your key points into bullet-pointed brief statements, and expand on them in the dialogue of your actual presentation
- Try to keep your bullet-points in the 5-7 count per slide - too many less, and it'll look too empty to justify the slide - too many more, and it becomes cluttered and hard to read
- Where possible, use graphs/charts/tables/etc to make your point. Visuals are way more powerful in a presentation than words.

If you need any other tips, just shoot me a message. 5 years of business school drilled this crap into my head, haha.
