How to select only desired data in whole word document to make PPT

I have one MCQ's Based type exam word document paper. I have to make Presentation in which each question will carry one slide.

I search different methods to create PPT from Word document. But I need little more help that is there any quickest way that select only questions and format them Heading style 1 and then select only QUestions options like Bullets as Heading 2.

or any other quickest way or macro which can convert my word document to PPT and each question should be on one slide.

If I understand correctly, you have questions and answers all formatted as normal text. You want one question per slide and the answer on the same slide? Or on the following slide?

Since this is a one-off exercise, I wouldn't bother writing and debugging a macro.

If you want the answers to appear on the same slide, beneath the question,

  1. Open your file in Word.
  2. Click Replace (far right end of Home Ribbon).
  3. In Find field, type ?
  4. Click in Replace field.
  5. Click More >> button.
  6. Click Format button.
  7. Select Style...
  8. Select Heading 1. Click OK.
  9. Click Replace All button.
  10. Save the file and close.

Create the Slide Deck:

  1. Open PowerPoint using a new blank presentation (don't worry, you can add a theme or color later).
  2. Click the arrow beneath New Slide on the Home Ribbon.
  3. Select Slides from Outline...
  4. In the Insert Outline File Explorer, navigate to and open your Word file.
  5. Save the file.

Edit your slide deck:

  1. Go to View Ribbon.
  2. Click Outline View (near left end of ribbon).
  3. Tab and Shift+Tab will enable you to promote items, making them new slides or demote them, making them text on the same slide as the preceding text.

There are no answers in Word Document. There are only questions MCQ's Based type.  Each question carries four options in bullet format.

The title of each Slide will be ENGLISH EXAM and Will carry question and possible right options.

I am attaching one sample PPT.

Word Document only carries questions and possible answer options of each question. I got your idea. But is there any way to Add TITLE of each slide on one click ???

What's MCQ? Does it define a format?

If you want to search for something in the word document, it might be more appropriate to provide a sample or two from there.

After looking at your PowerPoint, can I throw an alternative at you?

If you're using Office 2016/365, there is a tool that can be added to PowerPoint that allows you to create Multiple Choice interactive quizzes in PowerPoint. The downside is that you can't import your questions in bulk. You'd have to copy/paste everything. It's kind of cool, but possibly more useful if you're creating a quiz from scratch. Anyway, here's the link with information about it: https://mix.office.com/en-us/Home
