eh, I just got the promotion, so I'm good. Besides, they do give annual raises, and they are fairly hefty ones, in my opinion. Plus the annual bonus. And it all comes right before the tax refund, so I look forward to the extra $ every spring!

Converting to .doc is just wrong anyway ;)

But most companies have such a significant investment in MS software that they can't break that cycle.

*sigh*

We usually go the opposite way...doc to pdf. In some cases we've gone pdf to doc because someone forgot to give us the content in a format we need to post info to the web.

ppt to word seems like a waste of time to me. Unless this ppt is not the norm of mostly bullet points to help illustrate a presentation.

Or burn the ppt to cd and save yourself a whole lot of trouble. Do they use Microsoft products in England? They must since .doc is a word doctype.

I'm just rambling now...

I don't even really WANT pdf or word docs. I'd prefer all this stuff as webpages on our internal department website, searchable via keyword. But...thems the breaks.

Oh yeah, we use MS. The software we make is touted as a fully MS compatible 3-D cad/cam design and analysis software package. So we use MS.

This will bring over your text, but not your graphics.

1 - Open the PPT in Powerpoint.
2 - Save as RFT.
3 - Open the RTF in Word.
4 - Reformat all of your text, cause Microsoft products don't play well with other Microsoft products and the formatting may be wonky.

MMMMWWWAAAAHHH! That was a big smooch on the cheek!

I don't really know why he want to use Word. Maybe he's more comfortable with Word than anything else.

I don't even know if he's going to make flowcharts, etc.

Sigh.

But I'll try that with converting ppt to rtf, then opening in Word. Thanks for probably making me look like a genius!
