Combining Word and Powerpoint docs
I'm creating a training workbook and I have word documents and powerpoint
(notes page view) slides in the training. I want to combine it all into one document (either a word doc or a ppt doc, whichever is easier). This would make it easier to manage and make page numbering much easier. Having the docs in two separate programs is making things hard. Any ideas? Do I need to use Adobe or something? |

Combining Word and Powerpoint docs
In PowerPoint, you could use File Send to Microsoft Office Word and click
on Notes below slides. But then there is the problem of sizing the slides on the page and collating the two files, so that the pages are in the proper order (you could copy and paste whole pages). It would definitely be easier and better to put it into an Adobe file, which you could also distribute electronically.

Combining Word and Powerpoint docs
Thanks SVC. Based on your suggestion, I downloaded a trial version of Adobe
Acrobat. I created PDFs from one of the powerpoint files. It seems to work well except for one big problem. It brings over the slides in 'slide' view rather than notes pages view. I really need them in notes page view so that everything shows in portrait format (my word docs are in portrait). Alternatively, I tried copying the whole slide in notes page view and pasting it as a picture in Word. That worked OK but it's very cumbersome. Not sure what to do! If you have any suggestions beyond the great ones you gave me, please reply. Again, thanks for getting me on the right track.

Combining Word and Powerpoint docs
To "print" to Acrobat with the slide notes on a portrait-oriented page, in
the print dialog box under "Print what" select Notes Pages. This will give you what you are looking for. Post back and let everyone know if this is what you are looking for. "Todd" wrote: Thanks SVC.
