How to Import a Microsoft Word 2007 Document into a Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 Document
1. Open PowerPoint 2007, click the 'File' menu and click 'Open.' Browse to the presentation to add the Word 2007 document into and double-click the file name. The presentation opens in the PowerPoint window.
2. Scroll through the slide deck on the left side of the screen and double-click the slide to add the Word document onto. To add the document onto a new, blank slide, click once on a slide and press the 'Enter' key. This adds a new, blank slide directly after it.
3. Click the 'Insert' tab at the top of the screen. Click the 'Object' button on the toolbar below the tab. The 'Insert Object' window appears.
4. Click the 'Create from file' button. Click the 'Browse' button and browse to the Word 2007 document to insert. Click once on the document and click the 'OK' button. Click 'OK' to close the 'Insert Object' window and to insert the document. Depending on your computer's speed, this may take a few moments. The document appears on the slide.
5. To re-size the document, click on a corner of the document and drag your cursor up and to the left or right . Another option is to grab the side of the document and pull to the left or right to re-size it to fit the slide, but this may alter the text or look of your document by making it appear as if the text is stretched. Experiment with resizing the document to fit your slide as preferred.
6. If you wish to give the Word document a stand-out border, right-click the frame of the document and select 'Format Object.' Click the 'Line Color' option, click 'Solid Line,' click the 'Color' menu and select a border color. Click 'Close,' and the document has a border.
7. Click the 'File' tab, click 'Save As' and save the presentation or re-save it with a new name or version number so as not to overwrite the original.
