"I find your book the best of the three I have bought to learn PowerPoint."
-Robert Maddin
This book was a HUGE help for me while learning PowerPoint 2007. It was remarkably clearly written and easy to follow. While I'm not a big fan of all the changes to the PowerPoint (and the Office suite generally), it's great to have a well-written guidebook for coping with the increased complexity!

PowerPoint Tips & Tutorials
Export the text in a presentation
Sometimes you need to reformat your presentation as a Word document or restructure it for a printed brochure. How do you get just the text out of PowerPoint? If your text is in text placeholders, you can easily accomplish this.
Choose File>Send To>Microsoft Office Word. In the dialog box, choose the Outline Only option and click OK.
Word opens with your text. You can now reformat it in any way you want.
Note that you cannot use this technique for text in text boxes. This text is treated like a graphic.
Would you like to export even text in text boxes? See my tip, "Export all presentation text."
