Microsoft Word Powerpoint

Microsoft’s latest AI feature (Export to PowerPoint presentation) in Word for the web will allow users to export their Word document to a professional looking PowerPoint presentation.

Here’s how this feature works:

  • This feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to save you time and provide you with slide suggestions powered by Designer in PowerPoint.
  • The slides are derived from your section headers in the document, so make sure to organize your Word document accordingly for optimal suggestions.
  • Based on key words in your document, Designer in PowerPoint will suggest imagery, icons, videos, themes and fonts to arrange your content.
  • You can always change the suggested content if needed.
