Use the Slides from Outline method

1. Create headings using Styles in the Word doc, like Heading 1 and Heading 2
2. In PowerPoint, go to Home > New Slide > Slides from Outline
3. Select the Word doc to insert slides based on the headings

Best practices

• Use Styles in Word to format headings and text, this helps PowerPoint separate content into slides
• Consider linking vs embedding the Word doc, linking will keep it updated
• Design the Word doc specifically for conversion to PowerPoint
• Leverage features like Smart Guides and Eyedropper in PowerPoint 2013
• Keep file sizes small for best performance

Alternatives

• Paste an image of the Word doc content instead of the actual doc
• Insert a link to the Word file for users to click and open
