How to Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation

You might have converted a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document before so that you could edit it. But did you know that you can do the reverse? Take your Microsoft Word document and turn it into a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow. Maybe you want a jumpstart on creating your presentation using the text that you’ve saved in Word. Or maybe you’ve realized that your document would be better presented as a PowerPoint slideshow. With Word on the web, you can convert your document easily.

What You Need to Know

Here are a few things to keep in mind in terms of converting Microsoft Word documents to PowerPoint presentations. These points might be updated over time. The feature began rolling out in early 2021:

  • The ability to convert PowerPoint presentations is currently only available in Word for the web.
  • The option is currently only available in English.
  • The feature is not currently available when using Safari or Internet Explorer.
  • At the time of writing, text content is available for export. If you have media content in your Word document, you’ll need to add it to the PowerPoint presentation separately.

How to Control Your Smart Home from the Android Quick Settings

One of the main reasons why people get into smart home tech is convenience. It’s cool to be able to turn on lights from your phone, but it can be cumbersome, too. Fortunately, Android puts device controls in the Quick Settings panel. Android 11 introduced a new power menu with access to smart home device controls. Android 12 completely changed that and moved the controls to the Quick Settings. That puts controls for things like lights and thermostats right in the notification shade.

Apps need to support the Device Controls feature to appear in the Quick Settings tile. At the time of writing, the main app that supports the feature is Google Home. You’ll need to have your smart home devices added to the Google Home app for this to work.
