Yes Edel there certainly is. PowerPoint is designed for this very purpose. Open your PowerPoint presentation then go to the File menu and select Send to Microsoft Office Word. You can do this by Alt + F for file and then up arrow twice, the first you will be on is Properties and then Send To. Then when you are on Send To right arrow across and then use the down arrow until you come to Microsoft Office Word. Then Enter on that. Once you do this you will be in another screen with various options. These options are selected by using the space bar to select the particular radio button you want so you need to decide which suits you. If my instructions are too vague I will write out more thoroughly or talk you through it on the phone if you are by your computer.
