seems to me there should be a simple way to do this but I can't see it

anyone ?

you can insert a powerpoint slide into word using insert>object> from file.

Why do you need to convert? just text or pictures too?

you can also "send to" MSword but that drops the slides into the word document.

File>send to>MS Word

Thanks stoner – sorry for late reply; been out riding (how rude?!)

What I want is to get all the text out of all slides & shove it into word for formatting

Oof

If you have THAT many words in a presentation, you fail.

How about using the slide outline view and copying & pasting?

they're not my slides, I'm just nicking content 😳

hmmm, outline eh ??
