Word on the web now transform documents into PowerPoint presentations

Hi, Office Insiders, my name is Mohit Anand, and I’m a Program Manager on the PowerPoint team. I’m glad to share that a new scenario is now available in Word for the web. You can now transform Word documents into PowerPoint presentations.

Word documents to PowerPoint presentations

Have you ever wished you could easily transform an existing Word document into a great PowerPoint presentation? If so, the wait is over!

When you use the Transform command, it creates a presentation based on all the summarized sections of the document. It also adds imagery, icons, videos, themes, and fonts using AI.

How it works

To turn your Word document into a PowerPoint presentation:

Open any document you want to convert into a presentation in Word for the web.

Click File > Transform > Transform to PowerPoint presentation.

When prompted, choose a design theme for your presentation.

Click Open presentation to review the results in PowerPoint for the web.

The presentation will be created in the OneDrive root folder of the user who used this option.

Scenarios to try

Open a Word document and explore the available PowerPoint themes.

Open a Word document that is mostly text and see which AI-backed assets are added by clicking on Transform.

Known Issues

This feature is currently only available in English.

It is not available in the Internet Explorer and Safari browser.

We only support text content for the transformation to presentation, other media content support is not currently available. You can add your own media to the presentation after you have tranformed your Word document.

Availability

Transform your document to PowerPoint presentation is available in Word for the web to the First Release audience. We are rolling it out to all web users shortly.

Features are released over some time to ensure that things are working smoothly. Therefore, we highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Additionally, sometimes we remove elements to further improve them based on your feedback. Though this is rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product, even if you, as Insiders, have had the opportunity to try them.

Feedback

If you have any feedback or suggestions, you can submit them by clicking Help > Feedback.

Learn more about what other information you should include in your feedback to ensure it’s actionable and reaches the right people.

We’re excited to hear from you! Sign up for the Office Insider newsletter, and you’ll get the latest information about Insider features in your inbox once a month.

PowerPoint file crashes PowerPoint upon opening

since this happens in some of the computers only, suggest that you open the file on working computer and copy everything and paste to a new powerpoint file.
most of the time it works to me. *Smile
