Word document s  to PowerPoint presentation s  

Have you  ever  wished you could easily export an existing  Word document into a great PowerPoint presentation?  If so, the wait is over!   

When you use the Export command, it creates a  presentation  based on   all   the summarized sections of the document.  It also  adds   imagery, icons, videos, themes, and fonts  using  AI.

• Click  File   >   Export > Export to PowerPoint presentation .  
• When  prompted ,  choose a design theme for your presentation.  
• Click  Open presentation  to  re view  the results  in PowerPoint for  the   w eb.  
• The presentation  w ill  be  created  in the OneDrive  root folder  of the user who used this option.

Instantly Create PowerPoint Presentations Using Your Microsoft Word Document

September 27th, 2021.

Occasionally, my manager would come to me and ask that I transfer a Word document into a PowerPoint. As you may know, transferring the information by copying from Word and pasting it into a PowerPoint slide can be time consuming.

You can now save time creating PowerPoint presentations with this clever new feature in Microsoft Word, it is call EXPORT .

Note: This can only be done using Microsoft 365 online subscription. The desktop version of Word does not support this feature.

Let’s get started:

First, log into your Microsoft 365 account and open the Word Document you want to transfer to a PowerPoint presentation.

I am going to pull a recent blog we posted, it is a perfect example.

Next, go to the File menu on the ribbon bar and select Export . Then select Export to PowerPoint Presentation (preview).

Another dialog box will appear with options to choose a design theme. You can select from one of the preexisting themes or create a blank presentation by selecting the plain white in the themes. You can scroll to the bottom of the dialog box and click see more themes until you find what you like.

Note: I have found that if you cancel out, and select File > Export > Export to PowerPoint ; Microsoft will give you additional options to choose from. You can cancel out as many times as you wish to find the desired theme.

Once you have selected your theme, another dialog box will appear that says it is working on the transfer.

Once it is complete you can then click Open Presentation . Once you click Open Presentation, a new window will open in your browser with your selected theme and all your content transferred over.

Viola, your new PowerPoint presentation is now created. Now you can easily edit to fit your needs.

Note: If you do not like how a certain slide is laid out, you can simply click on the slide and select a different layout with the Designer on the right-hand side of the screen.

It is that simple, and saves you a lot of time in copying information over and sorting through what you want to present to the viewer. For more Microsoft 365 Tips and Tricks visit and subscribe to our blog .

Here’s a more detailed step-by-step tutorial:

Let’s go through this process step-by-step to see just how easy it is to create a PowerPoint presentation with SlideSpeak’s AI.

Head over to the SlideSpeak App and upload your Word document. You can do this by clicking the upload button on the homepage and selecting your file.

Once uploaded, you’ll see the content of your document appear in the SlideSpeak interface.

Step 2: Review the Document

Now you can quickly review the document and get familiar with the content. If you have any questions, you can chat with SlideSpeak’s AI assistant in the sidebar.

• How should this content be structured for a presentation?

The AI will provide helpful recommendations to improve the generated slides.

Can you directly generate PowerPoint presentations with ChatGPT?

No, ChatGPT is a conversational AI that only handles text interactions. It does not support uploading files or generating slide decks directly. SlideSpeak uses more advanced AI technology tailored for powerpoint generation from documents.

Let me know if you would like me to expand or modify the FAQ section in any way. I’m happy to add more questions and answers as needed!

How long does it take to generate a presentation?

The time it takes to generate a PowerPoint presentation depends on the length of your uploaded Word/PDF document. For a 10-15 page document, expect it to take around 5 minutes. Longer documents with 50+ pages could take 10-15 minutes to generate slides. You’ll see a progress bar after clicking the generate button so you know the status.

For a quick summary of your documents you can also just use our AI summary feature, check it out here .

What elements from my document will be converted into slides?

Our AI will analyze headings, text paragraphs, images, tables, and lists in your document. It identifies key points, summaries, and data to structure into individual slides with appropriate text, bullet points and visuals. The goal is to capture all the important information and structure it effectively for a presentation.

How to Prepare Presentations with Microsoft Word

A presentation is a process of presenting a product or topic to an audience intended to inform and demonstrate that particular subject. Creating the perfect presentations will support your pitch and could get you to the next level of your objectives. Presentation materials could be a series of creative slides, brochures , flyers , or posters . The document is your key to impress your viewers. Don't have any idea on how to start one? Feel free to read further to find tips and steps on how to create a presentation effectively.

1. Determine the Presentation's Purpose

First and foremost, you should know the purpose of your presentation materials. Are you using it to present new products or project proposals ? Do you want to show annual sales? You need to consider your intentions to deliver precise information to your audiences.

2. Choose a Layout Design

Presentations come in different layouts. You need to incorporate your design into the purpose of your material. Most presentation materials have simple arrangements with minimal designs. Others prefer their content to have beautiful backgrounds and a clean layout that makes it look appealing. For example, you are doing a presentation for annual sales report. You can choose designs that help you emphasize datasheets and numbers for your material to be readable.

3. Pick a Presentation Template

If you don't want to waste time creating presentations from scratch, look for presentation templates on our site that fits your preferences well. These ready-made templates come with unique and aesthetic designs that you can freely adjust. You will find different styles and themed materials to suit any field you are assigned. The editable templates are downloadable in any device you have, along with its graphic designs in file formats like Microsoft Word.

4. Come Up with Essential Details

Once you have your presentation templates with you, start filling in the details you need. Presentations need to be short and precise. You have to summarize your topics no matter how broad it is. Even if it's an annual business report or proposals , your audiences won't be interested in it if you have wordy slides to present. Make sure you have displayed the critical areas of your topic and have it straightforward.

5. Finalize Infographics

It is better to add infographics like charts , timelines, and illustrations on your presentation to avoid making your material dull and boring. Audiences prefer visual content than texts. They take in more information expressed through figures and images than have it in paragraphs. Infographics will also help you summarize your topics and allow you to squeeze them in one graph or chart.

6. Make your Presentation Engaging

Presentations are more fun and enjoyable if you often interact with your viewers. Get your audience to participate in your discussion as much as possible—it prevents your viewers from getting bored. If you are doing a presentation for a product, it is better to bring in a prop like a physical sample, to entertain your viewers more. It's also the same if you are presenting services. Try handing our marketing brochures and flyers to your audiences to have them more engaged.

6 microsoft word power user tricks everyone should know.

Unleash lesser-known Microsoft Word features now!

Quick Links

Add frequently used commands to the quick access toolbar, add your desired shortcut in the autocorrect list, translate text right within microsoft word, use the spike tool to cut and paste multiple blocks, compare two versions of a document, convert text to table and vice versa, key takeaways.

• Add frequently used commands to the Quick Access Toolbar. Go to File > Options > Quick Access Toolbar. Choose the command, click "Add >>," then "OK."
• Add shortcut entries for long words or lines to the AutoCorrect list. Word will replace the shortcut with the full text as you type.
• To move lots of text around, try Word's Spike tool. Cut or copy multiple blocks of text, then paste them wherever you need.

No matter how long you've been using Microsoft Word, there might still be some features you haven't explored yet. Here's a look at a few lesser-known features in Microsoft Word that can improve your efficiency and help you save time.

The Quick Access Toolbar, found at the top-left of your screen and featuring commands like Save, Undo, and Redo, allows you to perform common tasks quickly. You can add more commands to this toolbar to make your workflow even more efficient. For example, if you frequently insert images into documents, you can add an "Insert Picture" command.

To add a command to the Quick Access Toolbar, open the "File" menu in the top-left corner and select "Options." Go to the "Quick Access Toolbar" section, choose the command you want to add from the list on the left, click the "Add >>" button, and then confirm by clicking "OK." This will add your chosen command to the toolbar.

The auto-correct feature automatically corrects any spelling mistake you make in Microsoft Word. But did you know you can also add a custom correction for a shortcut in the AutoCorrect list ? For example, if you frequently type a lengthy business name, you can add an entry for it. Then, whenever you type that shortcut, AutoCorrect will replace it with the assigned text.

To add a custom shortcut to the autocorrect list, go to the "File" menu at the top-left and select "Options." Then, navigate to the "Proofing" tab on the left and click the "AutoCorrect Options" button on the right.

Then, type your desired shortcut in the "Replace" box and enter the full word or line in the "With" box. Finally, click "OK" to save your changes.

Now, whenever you type the shortcut you've assigned, Microsoft Word will automatically replace it with the longer word you've added.

Microsoft Word comes with a convenient translator tool. It enables you to translate a document from a foreign language to your native language or convert it to the language of the person you're sharing the document with. You can also translate specific sections within a Word document and replace the text with the translated version with a single click.

To use the translator tool, open your document in Microsoft Word, navigate to the "Review" tab, and click Translate > Translate Selection. Choose the languages you want to translate from and to, and Word will handle the rest automatically. If you want to replace the original text with the translated version, click "Insert."

To translate an entire document, head to the "Document" tab, select the current language of the document, choose the language you want to translate it to, and then click "Translate."

Spike, an extended clipboard feature, enables you to cut or copy multiple blocks of text or content from a document and paste them elsewhere, whether within the same document or into another Word document. This feature is particularly handy for extracting specific information from a Word document, as it allows you to cut or copy chunks and paste them in one go.

To relocate content using the Spike tool, select the first part of the text you want to cut or copy, and then press CTRL+F3 (or CMD+F3 on Mac). Repeat this process for each additional part of the text you want to cut or copy. Once you've copied (or cut) all the desired content, navigate to where you want to paste it and press CTRL+Shift+F3 (or CMD+Shift+F3 on Mac).

Microsoft Word offers a convenient Compare tool, which allows you to compare two versions of a document and review the changes made in the revised version compared to the original. It highlights changes by assigning different colors to different authors, and if authors have added their names, you can easily identify who made which change.

To use this feature, navigate to the "Review" tab, click on the "Compare" dropdown, and select "Compare…."

Then, click on the browse icon to choose the original and revised documents, and click "OK."

Word will display the changes made by authors in the left sidebar, the alterations in the middle pane, and the original document without any changes on the right-hand side. You can easily see both the original and revised versions of the document, along with all the changes made by different authors, in one view.

Microsoft Word simplifies the process of converting text into tables and vice versa. If you have content that you want presented in a tabular format but prefer not to input each item manually into individual fields, the text-to-table feature allows you to convert the data into a table with a single click.

Likewise, if you have data organized in a table and wish to convert it into text without manually copying and pasting each entry, the table-to-text conversion feature is at your service.

To transform text into a table, highlight the text you wish to convert and then head to the "Insert" tab.

From there, click on the "Table" drop-down menu and select "Convert Text to Table."

To convert text to a table, each entry needs to be separated by a comma; if not, the conversion won't work properly.

To convert a table into text, go to any cell within the table, go to the "Layout" tab, locate the "Convert to Text" option, and click on it. Finally, confirm your choice by clicking "OK."

These are a few Microsoft Word features that can improve your productivity and simplify complex tasks. If you haven't experimented with these features yet, it's worth giving them a try. If you're already familiar with most of them, explore other Microsoft Word tips and tricks to streamline your workflow further and save time in the office.

Word of the Day

What it means.

Symposium can refer either to a formal meeting at which experts discuss a particular topic, or to a collection of articles on a particular subject. Symposium has two plural forms: symposia and symposiums .

// Professors and graduate students attended a three-day symposium on climate change.

// The organization will be publishing a symposium on genetic research.

See the entry >

symposium in Context

“In 1966, at a meeting remembered in anthropological lore as the beginning of hunter-gatherer studies, seventy-five experts assembled in Chicago to synthesize our knowledge about foraging peoples. More than ninety-nine per cent of human history was spent without agriculture, the organizers figured, so it was worth documenting that way of life before it disappeared altogether. The symposium —and an associated volume that appeared two years later, both titled ‘Man the Hunter’—exemplified an obsession with hunting, meat-eating, and maleness.” — Manvir Singh, The New Yorker , 25 Sept. 2023

Did You Know?

When you hear the word symposium , you may—quite understandably—envision conferences full of intellectuals giving heady presentations on various arcana . But it was drinking, more than thinking, that drew people to the original symposia and gave us the word. Symposium ( symposia or symposiums in plural form) comes from the Greek noun symposion , the word ancient Greeks used for a drinking party that follows a banquet. Symposion in turn comes from sympinein , a verb that combines pinein , meaning “to drink,” with the prefix syn -, meaning “together.” Originally, English speakers only used symposium to refer to such an ancient Greek party, but in the 18th century British gentlemen’s clubs started using the word for confabs in which conversation was fueled by drinking. By the end of the 18th century, symposium had gained the more sober sense we know today, referring to meetings in which the focus is more on imbibing ideas and less on imbibing, say, mead .

Home Business Verification Forms Employment (Income)

Employment (Income) Verification Letter

Use our employment verification letter to prove an individual’s salary and employment status.

Updated May 28, 2024 Written by Ioana Gagiuc | Reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

An employment verification letter confirms an individual’s current or past employment status and details. It validates income or employment history for loan applications, lease agreements, immigration purposes, and other use cases.

Employment Verification vs. Salary Verification

The main objective of an employment verification letter is to verify employment status rather than providing specific salary information, whereas a salary verification letter specifically confirms an individual’s income or salary with a company.

What Is an Employment Verification Letter?

How to verify employment, how to request an employment verification letter, how to write an employment verification letter, employment verification letter sample, frequently asked questions.

An employment verification letter (or proof of income letter) verifies a previous or current employee’s salary, employment history, and job responsibilities.

A verification letter is also a common third-party prerequisite to confirm that an individual has the income to make monthly payments for a significant expenditure — whether for a lease, mortgage, or loan.

Verifying parties typically submit this document in business letter format with their name, job title and contact information, current date, and the employee’s income or job status. It does not only verify employment but also may include additional details such as eligibility for rehire or the reason for termination in cases where applicable.

Who Needs an Employment Verification Letter?

The following people, businesses, and organizations may ask for employment verification letters to learn more about an individual’s work experience and salary details:

• Purpose of the Letter: To confirm an individual will be responsible and make timely rent payments.
• Purpose of the Letter: To assess applicants’ income stability and ability to repay the loan when they apply for loans, mortgages, or other financial products.
• Purpose of the Letter: To confirm the employment details the candidate provides. They may reference the information provided on the employee’s I-9 Form to confirm their employment eligibility and status.
• Purpose of the Letter: To determine their eligibility when they apply for specific positions.

An employment letter may also be necessary for immigration, work permits, or visa processes to assess an individual’s employment status and income.

Information to Avoid

• Employers must exercise honesty and discretion when providing information about former employees. They should stick to factual, employment-related details like dates and job titles, avoiding delving into termination reasons.
• Compliance with federal, state, and local laws regarding disclosure is essential, especially considering sensitive issues like child custody cases, where the letter’s content could be used as evidence.

Step 1 – Receive the Individual’s Employment Verification Letter

If you haven’t yet received an individual’s income verification letter, you can request that they send it to you. Examine the document for potential issues, such as discrepancies in basic information or inconsistencies with the individual’s provided details.

Step 2 – Look Up the Organization

Check the status of the business entity to confirm it’s real. Every state has a searchable business directory tool that you can use to conduct your research. Ensure the author of the individual’s letter matches the information on the Secretary of State’s website.

Step 3 – Contact the Employer

Get in touch with the employer via email or phone to confirm they composed and signed the letter. If you’re contacting them by phone, do so during traditional business hours for the best chance of a response. If the person you want to speak with isn’t available, ask their secretary or assistant to set up a virtual meeting time.

Step 4 – Request Pay Stubs

Ask for two of their most recent pay stubs. If they can’t provide this information, you may instead ask for proof of income like:

• Bank statements
• Tax returns ( Form 1040 )
• Wage and tax statements ( W-2 Form )
• Social Security proof of income/benefits verification
• Proof of workers’ compensation

Step 5 – Obtain the Previous Two Years’ Tax Returns

In many cases, self-employed individuals receive payments in cash. In such situations, it is advisable to obtain at least the tax returns from the past two years. Every individual in the U.S. must fulfill their tax responsibilities to the federal government, so if they earn any form of income, they will have filed a tax return.

• For Individuals: Request IRS Form W-2.
• For Self-Employed Individuals: Request IRS Form 1040. Additionally, ask for IRS Form 4506-T , which allows the federal government to authenticate the self-employed individual’s income from the previous year. Processing is free and typically takes around one business day.

Step 6 – Run a Credit Report

Use a background check authorization form to collect the person’s information. Then, run a credit report through one of the three major credit reporting agencies: Transunion, Experian, and Equifax.

Here’s how to ask for an employment verification letter depending on whether you’re a former employee or an external party:

If You’re the Employee

• Consult your supervisor or manager. This is often the most straightforward method for requesting the letter. However, ensure to offer complete details and context for clarity.
• Contact the human resources department. Certain organizations have established formal procedures requiring engagement with the HR department.
• Complete a request form. Fill out the request form your HR department provides you. Supply specific information you’d like them to include in the letter, such as your employment dates and status (full-time versus part-time).
• Note the recipient. Indicate if you want them to send the letter to the requestor or give it to you so you can supply it to the appropriate party.
• Follow up. If you haven’t received word that they’ve written and delivered your letter within a reasonable timeframe, check on the status of your letter.

Employment Verification Request Example

Hi [Insert name],

I am applying for a lease, and the landlord has requested proof of my employment. They’ve asked that you verify my dates of employment, job title, and salary.

Their address is: [Insert address]

They also accept verification via fax at [insert number]. Please let me know if there’s anything else you need.

[Position and Company]

If You’re an External Party

• Seek authorization from the individual. You must obtain explicit permission from the employee before you pursue the process of getting an income verification letter.
• Contact the employer. Find the designated contact for employment verification requests at the individual’s company.
• Specify the information you want. Be specific about the information you want, such as their income and employment length.
• Indicate the delivery method. Clarify how you’d like to receive the letter, whether via certified mail, fax, or in person.

Here are the steps to follow when writing an employment verification form:

Step 1 – Provide the Employer’s Details

Write down the employer’s details. Include the name (or company) of the current or past employer verifying the employment and the address.

Step 2 – Enter the Requesting Party’s Details

Provide the name and address of the party requesting the employment verification, such as a bank or a landlord. If the requester is unknown, leave this blank.

Write the name of the contact person for the party requesting verification. If the requester is unknown, use “To Whom It May Concern” to address the letter.

Step 3 – Fill in Verification Details

Enter the name of the verified person. Also, provide their employment details, like their employer’s name, job title, employment start date, and company’s address.

Include supporting documents within this letter to verify the employee’s salary and bonus, if any. Remember that there are state and local laws regarding salary disclosure, and some require employee authorization.

Step 4 – Provide the Employer’s Contact Information

Write the employer’s contact details, including their phone number and email address. Before sending, ensure to carefully edit and proofread the letter.

Step 5 – Get Notary Acknowledgement (Optional)

While this letter doesn’t require notarization, it can add to its legitimacy. If you’d like, have a notary witness the employer’s signature for authenticity.

How much proof of income do I need to provide?

It depends. Some lenders may want to see you earn a specific amount to ensure you meet your monthly payments. They may also want to see income verification for a specific period, such as the last two months.

Can I use a bank statement alone as proof of income?

You can use bank statements as supplementary documents, but landlords and lending financial institutions may often request pay stubs as primary proof of income.

What if I don’t have any traditional proof of income?

If you’re applying for a loan, you can have a cosigner sign for you. This person pledges to pay back the loan if you default, so you won’t necessarily need to provide proof of income.

Suppose you’re applying to rent an apartment or home. In this case, you may need to present nontraditional proof of income, such as bank statements, a letter from your current employer, an invoice/contract of the work you’ve completed recently, or a profit/loss statement.

How long should I keep copies of my proof of income documents?

It depends on the exact document. According to the IRS , you should keep tax returns and related documents for two years from when you paid your obligations or three years from when you filed the original return (whichever is later).

Retain your paystubs until you receive your W-2 for that year. Retain bank statements for at least one year unless you need them for important matters (like home purchases or taxes). In this case, keep them for at least three years.

What is Memorial Day? The true meaning of why we celebrate the federal holiday

For many Americans, Memorial Day is more than a long weekend and an unofficial start to the summer season. The real meaning of the holiday is meant to honor all U.S. soldiers who have died serving their country.

Originally called Decoration Day, Memorial Day's history goes back to the Civil War. It was was declared a national holiday by Congress in 1971, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Although Veterans Day in November also honors military service members, Memorial Day differs by honoring all military members who have died while serving in U.S. forces in any current or previous wars.

The late-May holiday has also evolved into an opportunity for Americans to head to the beach or lake , travel to see friends and family , or even catch a Memorial Day parade .

Here's what to know about the history and the reason behind why we observe Memorial Day.

Memorial Day weather: Severe storms could hamper your travel, outdoor plans for Memorial Day weekend

When is Memorial Day?

One of 11 federal holidays recognized in the U.S., Memorial Day is always observed on the last Monday of May. This year, the holiday falls on Monday, May 27.

Why do we celebrate Memorial Day?  

The origins of the holiday can be traced back to local observances for soldiers with neglected gravesites during the Civil War.

The first observance of what would become Memorial Day, some historians think, took place in Charleston, South Carolina at the site of a horse racing track that Confederates had turned into a prison holding Union prisoners. Blacks in the city organized a burial of deceased Union prisoners and built a fence around the site, Yale historian David Blight wrote in  The New York Times  in 2011.

Then on May 1, 1865, they held an event there including a parade – Blacks who fought in the Civil War participated – spiritual readings and songs, and picnicking. A commemorative marker was erected there in 2010.

One of the first Decoration Days was held in Columbus, Mississippi, on April 25, 1866 by women who decorated graves of Confederate soldiers who perished in the battle at Shiloh with flowers. On May 5, 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, the tradition of placing flowers on veterans’ graves was continued by the establishment of Decoration Day by an organization of Union veterans, the Grand Army of the Republic. 

General Ulysses S. Grant presided over the first large observance, a crowd of about 5,000 people, at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on May 30, 1873.

This tradition continues to thrive in cemeteries of all sizes across the country. 

Until World War I, Civil War soldiers were solely honored on this holiday. Now, all Americans who’ve served are observed. 

At least 25 places in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. Some states that claim ownership of the origins include Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, according to Veterans Affairs.

Despite conflicting claims, the U.S. Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, New York, as the “birthplace” of Memorial Day on May 30, 1966, after Governor Nelson Rockefeller's declaration that same year. The New York community formally honored local veterans May 5, 1866 by closing businesses and lowering flags at half-staff. 

Why is Memorial Day in May? 

The day that we celebrate Memorial Day is believed to be influenced by Illinois U.S. Representative John A. Logan, who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat in November 1858, and served as an officer during the Mexican War.

It is said that Logan, a staunch defender of the Union, believed Memorial Day should occur when flowers are in full bloom across the country, according to the  National Museum of the U.S. Army.

Congress passed an act making May 30 a holiday in the District of Columbia in 1888,  according to the U.S. Congressional Research Service.

In 2000, the National Moment of Remembrance Act – which created the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance and encourages all to pause at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence – was signed into law by Congress and the President.

What is the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?

Memorial Day and Veterans Day both honor the sacrifices made by U.S. veterans, but the holidays serve different purposes.

Veterans Day, originally called “Armistice Day,” is a younger holiday established in 1926 as a way to commemorate all those who had served in the U.S. armed forces during World War I.

Memorial Day honors all those who have died.
