New Microsoft Word feature will eliminate the need to build PowerPoint presentations from scratch.
A new Office 365 feature will soon allows users to convert Microsoft Word documents into PowerPoint slide decks. Available to members of the company’s early access program, the new Transform option can be sampled via the Microsoft Word web client, under the File > Transform menu. When selected, the feature will prompt the user to pick out a visual style to apply to the presentation, before generating a preview in PowerPoint and dropping the presentation file into OneDrive. While the Transform facility is still undergoing early access testing, Microsoft expects the feature to roll out to all users in the near future.
