You can import an entire Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to create a new project. You can specify the size of the imported pages, how transitions should be handled, and the format of the images.
You can import PowerPoint presentations from the Getting Started page or from within the Publisher.
To import a PowerPoint presentation:
If you have not started the Publisher, click Import PowerPoint from the Tasks list on the Getting Started page. Otherwise, click Import from the File tab in the Publisher and select PowerPoint.
The Import PowerPoint window opens.
Specify the name of the PowerPoint file in the File to Import field or click Browse to navigate and select the PowerPoint file. Change the name of the project in the Project Name field if necessary.
Click Import.
The Import PowerPoint window opens.
In the Project Size box, use the drop-down list to select the size of the pages to be created from the PowerPoint slides. To specify a custom size, select Custom Size from the list and enter the page width in the Custom Screen Width field.
Use the Transitions box to specify how you want transitions imported into the project. Choose from the following:
| No Transitions |
Select this to disregard slide transitions included in the PowerPoint presentation. |
|
Import Only Supported Transitions |
Select this to only import slide transitions that are supported by the program. |
|
Remap To Supported Transitions |
Select this to import all slide transitions. If the PowerPoint presentation contains slide transitions that are not supported by the program, alternate transitions will be applied. |
In the Images box, use the Format pull-down list to select the format to which you want images within the presentation converted. Select from PNG, GIF, or JPG formats.
Click OK.
