[duxuser] Re: PowerPoint files


Betsy,

Here are some notes I wrote a while ago for someone wanting to Braille
off a PowerPoint document:

1. From PowerPoint, File menu, Save as, change Save As type from
Presentation to Outline/RTF and click save.  The presentation will be
saved with the filetype ".rtf".

2. From Word, File menu, Open, change Files of type to All Files or Rich
Text Format, and load the document.

3. Check the following:
*       The titles of each slide will be in Heading 1 style; these can
be left.
*       The bullet points within each slide may be Normal or a heading
style - change them all to Normal.
*       Go through each slide and make sure the Normal style paragraphs
are consistent.
*       If there are lists within lists, i.e. indented paragraphs, these
indents may need to be re-input.

4. Save the Word document.

5. From the DBT menu, choose Duxbury Braille. 

6. Choose the template as usual, and check that the import filter is
"Microsoft Word 6 or later". 

Hope this helps,

Steve

I know we've been down this trail before, but I can't seem to find 
anything in my files about getting the text out of the powerpPoint 
files into Word and on to Duxbury, 10.5. I'm using xp Home. I am able 
to open the .ppt files. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Betsy
