AI Is Coming To Presentations To Help Convert Word To PowerPoint

Artificial Intelligence is transforming nearly every facet of life and business – and business communication is no exception. Given the massive footprint and routine usage of PowerPoint presentations, Microsoft has recognized that AI-related investments in this area will create a big impact on the business.

Microsoft has quietly and recently started to deploy AI to help professionals convert text documents into visually appealing presentations. This “Artificial Intelligence feature” is now a part of the MS Office suite and is designed to automatically convert Word to PowerPoint. The tool intelligently sifts through the Word document, takes into account the headers and text in your document, even looks at keywords, and recommends images, fonts, and other media tools to enhance your presentations based on your theme. Once exported, it allows you to make edits to your PPT. Sounds cool?

Try this feature called the Transform Command.

This tool is also smarter than one would expect. If you don’t have typographical elements in your document, the Transform Command will add assets to it and suggest themes you can use to convert your document. It’s a great tool to give you a starting point for your presentations. Using this tool doesn’t require any specialist knowledge of PowerPoint and has been built keeping in mind the needs of an average PowerPoint user. 

In this tutorial, we’ll give you a detailed description of how to use this new AI feature by Microsoft to convert Word docs to PowerPoint. This feature could be another tool in your arsenal as you go about the task of making your presentation documents.
