Need Help Converting Word 2013 to PowerPoint 2013 on Custom Template Without Bullets
I have an 11 page document in Word 2013, where each sentence is its own paragraph. I need to put each sentence on its own slide in PowerPoint 2013.

For each intended slide you need
A Title Set to Heading 1. This can be simply a blank paragraph formatted as Heading 1 but it must exist
The paragraph set to Heading 2 which will be the text of the slide.
Setting a paragraph to heading 2 will probably remove the indent but in any case it won't effect the slide.
As Echo says do the formatting in PPT.
I would suggest you practise with a few paragraphs first.
A macro is a possibility but it is a separate question.

OK, I have my hands full at the moment. But let me post the other question, get an answer to that, and then come back and work Echo's suggestions. Thanks!
Try adding the send to PPT button.
Download this simple text file in WORD and run the macro then sent to PowerPoint.
If it's close to what you want you can try the macro on a COPY of your own stuff.

Thank you! The directions were to the point.

My master document is a very long RTF file (which I converted to Word, but I also have it in RTF). Each paragraph in the document is anywhere from one to four sentences long. The first sentence is indented, and then the remainder of the paragraph flows (i.e., it has no indent). For the foreseeable future (years), I need to select perhaps 250-300 of these paragraphs, feed them into a PowerPoint document, and then add custom slides--so the more I can automate things, the better.
JSR, I hear you saying I need a Heading 1 for each sentence (which I will need to identify as Heading 2). Is that correct? If so, is there some way to automatically remove the tab indents, insert a blank line between each sentence, format the blank line as Heading 1, and format the existing sentence as Heading 2 (so I do not have to do all of that manually)?
It sounds like I might be into macro country? And if so, is this something that you all can help me with? Or should I post a separate question about macros, and then come back here when I have formatted the document correctly?
Echo 5, thank you for your instructions. I think I understand your first paragraph, but I would like to handle the Word formatting issue first, and then come back and see if I can figure out your instructions.
Thank you both.
