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 Export command and select Export to PowerPoint presentation, Word creates a
presentation based on all the summarized sections of the document. It also uses AI to add imagery,
icons, videos, themes, and fonts for the design theme you choose for the presentation.

How it works
1. Open the document you want to transform into a presentation in Word for the web. Make
sure that it contains only text. The headings in the document will become the slide headings
in the presentation.

2. Go to File > Export > Export to PowerPoint presentation.

3. In the Export to presentation window, choose a design theme for your presentation, and then
select Export.
Word exports and transforms the document, applying the design theme you chose.
4. After the transformation is complete, select Open presentation to review the results in
PowerPoint for the web.
 Word for the web saves the transformed presentation to the root folder of your OneDrive.

Scenarios to try
Open a Word document and explore the available PowerPoint themes.

Open a Word document that's mostly text and select Transform to see which AI-backed
assets are added.

Known Issues

Word for the web

Availability
Export 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.

We typically release features over some time to ensure that things are working smoothly. We
highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of
Insiders. 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 selecting 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.
