ARGH powerpoint and word!???

Avatar for sneaks

I need to put a powerpoint slideshow into a word document. Well, I just need it to be handouts (6 per page) added into my appendix.

Obviously I could just add it in from a powerpoint print off - but that doesn't work for when I send it to the printers - it needs to be in one document

So how do I do this??? I've played around with it for ages and can't get it to work :-s

I can think of a cheating way of doing this, but I'm sure there's a proper way, so only do this if you really have to (it's long winded and ridiculous). Print to pdf, then view the pafe on screen and take a screen shot, then add to the word document as a picture. I'll have a quick look, I'm SURE there will be a better way to do it, but if you're in a rush then just do that. I expect IT people are groaning right now...

Go to insert object then select powerpoint presentation, then the right one.

There you go, I knew you could do it easily...

Edit: ooh err, it's not quite that simple - I really want to work it out now though, give me a 10 minutes

Edit2: Ok, best I can do is: In Powerpoint, Print to PDF ONE PAGE AT A TIME. Then, in Word, insert object - pdf - select page one. Repeat for page 2 etc. There must be an easier way, but this does at least work. I'll let you know if I come up with anything better.

I haven't been able to test this (i'm using word for mac, and the interfaces are quite different) but hopefully this will help....

Brilliant! I'm really happy someone found that, it was bugging me! Ignore my previous posts and do what frogprincess says :-)
