How to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation

Whether you’re more comfortable working in PowerPoint or you’d like to present the content of your Word document in a different way, we’ve got you covered, There are a few different ways to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation. If you have a Microsoft 365 account, you can use Word for the Web to make the conversion or you can do it directly with PowerPoint. There’s another option, too. Don’t want to convert your document to a presentation, but still need to use it as a reference? You can insert it as an object directly in a slide. If this all sounds super complicated, don’t worry. We’ll guide you each step of the way.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using Word for the Web

First, open your web browser and log in to Office. Once logged in, open the document you want to convert in Word for the Web, and click the “File” tab in the top-left corner of the window.

IDG / Marshall Gunnell

Click “Export” in the left-hand pane and select “Export to PowerPoint Presentation (Preview).”

The Export to Presentation window will appear. Here, select the design theme you’d like to use and click “Export.”

Word for the Web will then begin preparing your new presentation. Once ready, click “Open Presentation.”

Your presentation will open in PowerPoint for the Web. If you need a local copy, you can always download it by going to File > Save as > Download a Copy.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using PowerPoint

You can convert your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation using PowerPoint itself, but you’ll need to make sure your Word document is properly formatted for the conversion first. For content that you want to use as a slide title, make sure you give it the Heading 1 style. For content you want to use as text in the slide, give it the Heading 2 style.

Once you’re ready, open PowerPoint and make sure you’re in the “Home” tab. Next, select “New Slide” in the ribbon and then “Slides from Outline” from the bottom of the menu that appears.

From here, locate the Word document you want to use, select it, and click “Insert.”

PowerPoint will then do its thing. While this way isn’t as good as using Word for the Web, it’ll still get the job done.

Insert Your Word Document as an Object in Your Presentation

If you’re not interested in converting your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation, you can insert it as an object for quick access.

Before we proceed, it’s important you understand the difference between the two types of objects you can insert your document as: Linked or Embedded.

The main difference between the two is where the data is stored. If you embed the object in your presentation, the data from that object is stored in the presentation. This is good if you’re worried about the location of the word document changing (which can break a linked object), but it will increase your file size. A linked object only inserts a link to the source file. In other words, the data from the object isn’t stored in the presentation—it simply links to it. This will keep your file size down, but that link may break if the source file is moved to a different location.

To insert your Word document as an object in your presentation, open your presentation and navigate to the slide you would like to add the object to. From there, click the “Insert” tab and select “Object.”

The Insert Object window will appear. Select “Create from File and click “Browse.”

Locate and select the document you would like to insert. Once inserted, you have two choices. You can either display the entire Word document in the PowerPoint slide or simply display the document icon. If you choose the latter, the document will open in Word when selected.

Click “OK” to insert the object. That’s all there is to it!

How to Export Word Documents Into PowerPoint Presentations Using Microsoft AI

Want to convert your Microsoft Word document into a professional-looking PowerPoint presentation? Here's how Microsoft's AI can help!

You would agree that the difference between a good and a great pitch is your presentation skills and a well-designed PowerPoint presentation. You'll leave a lasting impression on your audience if you have a visually appealing presentation.

If you have ever created a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, you probably pasted the content from a Microsoft Word document onto the relevant PowerPoint slides. And then added relevant images, icons, and designed and formatted it, right?

But what if you could create a slick presentation with just a few clicks? With Microsoft's artificial intelligence, you can now automate the conversion of Word documents into PowerPoint presentations. Here's how.

Export to PowerPoint Presentation: Microsoft's AI at Work for You

Export to PowerPoint presentation, which is what this revolutionary AI feature of Microsoft is called, offers you slide suggestions powered by Designer in PowerPoint.

As Microsoft says, the slides are derived from your section headers in the document, so make sure to organize your Word document accordingly for optimal suggestions.

Designer in PowerPoint scans keywords in your Word document and then suggests imagery, icons, videos, themes, and fonts to arrange your content. So this means that you don't need to spend time opening a PowerPoint presentation, creating slides, formatting content, and designing it. Microsoft's AI does all the work for you!

What Do You Need to Turn Word Documents Into PowerPoint Presentations?

There are three things you need to convert Word documents to PowerPoint automatically—a stable internet connection, Word for the web, and a text-only Word for the web document.

For now, this feature of converting Word docs to PowerPoint presentations works only on Word for the web. You can also access this feature on Word and PowerPoint for the web if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. But if you don't have the subscription, then you can do it for free with Office on the Web.

To use this feature, you will need to be signed in to Office.com with a Microsoft account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can easily create one. Here's how:

1. Go to Office.com

2. Click on Sign up for the free version of Office .

3. In the Create account page, sign-up with an existing email address (it could be any ID, even a Gmail one), and follow the instructions to create an account.

4. Alternatively, you could use a phone number or get a new email address if you don't want to use an existing one.

How to Prepare a Word for the Web Document

The Desktop Word app won't work if you want to turn Word docs into PowerPoint. You need a Word for the Web document, and you can do that in three ways:

• Create your presentation as a Word document for the web in Office.com .
• Copy and paste content from a desktop Word file into a new blank Word document for the web.
• Work on a desktop Word file and save it on your OneDrive folder. Then open it online on Word for the web.

So now that you have your Word for the web document ready, let's go ahead and turn it into a professional-looking presentation.

How to Use Export to PowerPoint Presentation

To test out this revolutionary feature, I edited and used one of my articles on a desktop Word file.

Then I copied the content from it, pasted it on Word for the web document, and saved it on Office.com. Here's how you can turn a document into a presentation:

1. Click File > Export > Export to PowerPoint presentation .

2. Based on your document keywords, the AI will offer a few design templates for you to choose from. I got 18 cool design themes, which made the selection easy. So choose a design theme that you like for your presentation.

3. As your presentation is getting prepared, the AI will show you windows with notifications of preparing slides and summarizing your content. Finally, a window will open notifying that your presentation is ready. Click Open presentation to review the results in PowerPoint for the web.

4. As you can see, the AI did an amazing job of creating my Word document into a bright, colorful and neatly designed and formatted PowerPoint presentation.

5. You can always change the suggested content as per your needs. As you can see in the image above, Designer in PowerPoint will give you design options alongside every slide. If you don't like one, you can choose another. Simply click on the Design option, and it will be changed.

6. And you can add icons, pictures, videos, and more—just like in any PowerPoint. I added icons of “Snacks” and a “Movie Clapboard” to sync with the Entertainment theme of a slide.

And not only from the web, but you can also add media from your own PC, once you're in PowerPoint for the web.

7. The presentation that is created is saved on the root folder of OneDrive on your computer.

You can also choose to save the presentation online, download a copy on your PC, and then use it offline as any other presentation. There are also options to download it as a PDF, as an ODP and also as images.

At the time of writing this, the Export to PowerPoint presentation feature is available only in English and supports only content files. Though, support for your pictures and tables is coming soon. And it is not available on Internet Explorer or Safari browsers yet.

Amazing AI That Understands Your Content and Theme

To test the feature's AI abilities further, I created a short Word document on the golf theme. And I was pleasantly surprised with the AI's understanding of the presentation's theme and content.

When I exported the Word document, the first two theme options had actual golf images and looked perfect!

So I chose the design I liked, and as you can see above, the AI created a very professional-looking and slick presentation!

Now Work Smart and Create Great Presentations

There's no denying that this revolutionary Export to PowerPoint presentation feature will transform the way you work or study. It's ideal for our fast-paced world, and can help you save significant time and effort by getting the job done with its AI magic—easily and speedily.

So now that you know how to use this incredible feature, go ahead and turn your Word documents into smart PowerPoint presentations. Be it a school or college report, a marketing campaign, or your company profile for investors, you're sure to make an impact!

What to Know

• In Word, go to Insert > Add from Files and select the PowerPoint file. Choose Insert Slide for each slide you want to add.

Use the Picture Format menu to adjust each inserted slide.

When you want to use PowerPoint slides in a Microsoft Word document, use the Add from Files tool to import one or more slides from a PowerPoint presentation as images to the Word file. We show you how to do it using Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2019, Word 2016, and Word for Mac.

How to Insert PowerPoint Slides Into a Word Document

Slides from an existing PowerPoint presentation can be inserted as an image into a blank document or an existing document.

Open an existing or blank Word document, then position the cursor where you want to insert the PowerPoint slide.

Go to the Insert tab and select Add from Files .

Select the PowerPoint file that contains the slides you want to add to the Word document.

If the file isn't listed, select Show More Files to browse the filesystem and choose a file.

In the Insert From File panel, find the slide you want to insert as an image and select Insert Slide to insert it into the document.

The slide appears as an image. It can only be edited with photo tools.

Considerations

In old versions of Microsoft Office , it sometimes made sense to export PowerPoint content into Word to mark it up with the speaker's notes and other information. However, PowerPoint has advanced such that these workarounds no longer prove as helpful.

PowerPoint presentations can be exported in different formats including PDF, several image formats, several movie formats, and a rich-text outliner format. Use these export formats as an alternative to a multi-step Word process.

• On Windows, go to File > Export > Create Handouts and click "OK."
• On Mac, go to File > Export > File Format > .rtf > Export. Open the RTF in Word, then go to File > Save As > Format > .docx and click "Save."

• If you want the Word document to update whenever the original PowerPoint presentation is changed, click on Paste link .
• If you want the Word document to remain unchanged whenever the original PowerPoint presentation is updated, click on Paste .

• The PowerPoint will open in Word so you can save it and view it later as a .docx document. [1] X Trustworthy Source Microsoft Support Technical support and product information from Microsoft. Go to source

• In most instances, the formatting and pagination will not match the original PowerPoint presentation, and the RTF format may not support many pictures or backgrounds. Be sure to go through the Word document and adjust it to your liking.
• Alternatively, you can easily convert a Word document to PowerPoint .

Expert Q&A

• Use online converters, like Zamzar, to convert PPT to Word docs without Microsoft software. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0

How to convert a powerpoint to word and make it editable.

Using Word to create presentation handouts gives you a lot more formatting control.

Sometimes, you want to give presentation handouts to your audience. You can print these from Microsoft PowerPoint, but converting to Word document lets you use Word’s feature-rich formatting toolset to spruce things up.

Open up the PowerPoint file, head over to the “File” tab, and then select “Export” from the sidebar.

Under the Export menu, select “Create Handouts.”

A few bullet points with some useful information about what you can do with the handouts will appear to the right:

• Put slides and notes in a Word document
• Edit and format content in Word
• Automatically update slides in the handout when the presentation changes

Go ahead and select the “Create Handouts” button under the bullet points.

The “Send to Microsoft Word” window will appear with several different page layout options. Select the one most appropriate for you. In this example, we’ll select “Blank lines below slides.” Once ready, click “OK.”

Note: If you would like content inside the slides in the Word document to automatically update when the original PowerPoint presentation is edited, select the “Paste link” option.

After you click “OK,” the presentation will automatically open in a new Word document. To edit any of the content inside the slides, simply double-click the slide and start editing!

If you selected the “Blank lines below slide” option, there will be plenty of room to leave notes below each slide. If you already had notes in the PowerPoint version and selected the respective layout, they will appear in the handout.

How To Get Free Access To Microsoft PowerPoint

E very time you need to present an overview of a plan or a report to a whole room of people, chances are you turn to Microsoft PowerPoint. And who doesn't? It's popular for its wide array of features that make creating effective presentations a walk in the park. PowerPoint comes with a host of keyboard shortcuts for easy navigation, subtitles and video recordings for your audience's benefit, and a variety of transitions, animations, and designs for better engagement.

But with these nifty features comes a hefty price tag. At the moment, the personal plan — which includes other Office apps — is at $69.99 a year. This might be the most budget-friendly option, especially if you plan to use the other Microsoft Office apps, too. Unfortunately, you can't buy PowerPoint alone, but there are a few workarounds you can use to get access to PowerPoint at no cost to you at all.

Method #1: Sign Up For A Free Microsoft Account On The Office Website

Microsoft offers a web-based version of PowerPoint completely free of charge to all users. Here's how you can access it:

• Visit the Microsoft 365 page .
• If you already have a free account with Microsoft, click Sign in. Otherwise, press "Sign up for the free version of Microsoft 365" to create a new account at no cost.
• On the Office home page, select PowerPoint from the side panel on the left.
• Click on "Blank presentation" to create your presentation from scratch, or pick your preferred free PowerPoint template from the options at the top (there's also a host of editable templates you can find on the Microsoft 365 Create site ).
• Create your presentation as normal. Your edits will be saved automatically to your Microsoft OneDrive as long as you're connected to the internet.

It's important to keep in mind, though, that while you're free to use this web version of PowerPoint to create your slides and edit templates, there are certain features it doesn't have that you can find on the paid version. For instance, you can access only a handful of font styles and stock elements like images, videos, icons, and stickers. Designer is also available for use on up to three presentations per month only (it's unlimited for premium subscribers). When presenting, you won't find the Present Live and Always Use Subtitles options present in the paid plans. The biggest caveat of the free version is that it won't get any newly released features, unlike its premium counterparts.

Method #2: Install Microsoft 365 (Office) To Your Windows

Don't fancy working on your presentation in a browser? If you have a Windows computer with the Office 365 apps pre-installed or downloaded from a previous Office 365 trial, you can use the Microsoft 365 (Office) app instead. Unlike the individual Microsoft apps that you need to buy from the Microsoft Store, this one is free to download and use. Here's how to get free PowerPoint on the Microsoft 365 (Office) app:

• Search for Microsoft 365 (Office) on the Microsoft Store app.
• Install and open it.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account. Alternatively, press "Create free account" if you don't have one yet.
• Click on Create on the left side panel.
• Select Presentation.
• In the PowerPoint window that opens, log in using your account.
• Press Accept on the "Free 5-day pass" section. This lets you use PowerPoint (and Word and Excel) for five days — free of charge and without having to input any payment information.
• Create your presentation as usual. As you're using the desktop version, you can access the full features of PowerPoint, including the ability to present in Teams, export the presentation as a video file, translate the slides' content to a different language, and even work offline.

The only downside of this method is the time limit. Once the five days are up, you can no longer open the PowerPoint desktop app. However, all your files will still be accessible to you. If you saved them to OneDrive, you can continue editing them on the web app. If you saved them to your computer, you can upload them to OneDrive and edit them from there.

Method #3: Download The Microsoft PowerPoint App On Your Android Or iOS Device

If you're always on the move and need the flexibility of creating and editing presentations on your Android or iOS device, you'll be glad to know that PowerPoint is free and available for offline use on your mobile phones. But — of course, there's a but — you can only access the free version if your device is under 10.1 inches. Anything bigger than that requires a premium subscription. If your phone fits the bill, then follow these steps to get free PowerPoint on your device:

• Install Microsoft PowerPoint from the App Store or Google Play Store .
• Log in using your existing Microsoft email or enter a new email address to create one if you don't already have an account.
• On the "Get Microsoft 365 Personal Plan" screen, press Skip For Now.
• If you're offered a free trial, select Try later (or enjoy the free 30-day trial if you're interested).
• To make a new presentation, tap the plus sign in the upper right corner.
• Change the "Create in" option from OneDrive - Personal to a folder on your device. This allows you to save the presentation to your local storage and make offline edits.
• Press "Set as default" to set your local folder as the default file storage location.
• Choose your template from the selection or use a blank presentation.
• Edit your presentation as needed.

Do note that PowerPoint mobile comes with some restrictions. There's no option to insert stock elements, change the slide size to a custom size, use the Designer feature, or display the presentation in Immersive Reader mode. However, you can use font styles considered premium on the web app.

Method #4: Use Your School Email Address

Office 365 Education is free for students and teachers, provided they have an email address from an eligible school. To check for your eligibility, here's what you need to do:

• Go to the Office 365 Education page .
• Type in your school email address in the empty text field.
• Press "Get Started."
• On the next screen, verify your eligibility. If you're eligible, you'll be asked to select whether you're a student or a teacher. If your school isn't recognized, however, you'll get a message telling you so.
• For those who are eligible, proceed with creating your Office 365 Education account. Make sure your school email can receive external mail, as Microsoft will send you a verification code for your account.
• Once you're done filling out the form, press "Start." This will open your Office 365 account page.

You can then start making your PowerPoint presentation using the web app. If your school's plan supports it, you can also install the Office 365 apps to your computer by clicking the "Install Office" button on your Office 365 account page and running the downloaded installation file. What sets the Office 365 Education account apart from the regular free account is that you have unlimited personal cloud storage and access to other Office apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook.

The 5 best things you can do with Copilot Pro right now

Copilot Pro is Microsoft’s AI subscription service that costs $20 per month for individuals and is integrated into the brand’s Microsoft 365 suite. The paid service offers unique features to Microsoft users, provides faster and more consistent AI performance with priority access to the GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo large language models (LLM) during peak times, and also brings the AI technology to the brand’s most popular PC applications — and that’s where things get really interesting.

Create custom GPTs

Dalle-3 access in microsoft designer, make powerpoint presentations from text prompts, create graphs and visuals through text prompts, have copilot write for you directly in word.

Here are some of the best features on Copilot Pro and how they work.

One of the most interesting features of Copilot Pro is that you can build your own custom GPT within the AI service, meaning you can create and edit a unique chatbot to do your bidding. You can create your chatbot as a personal trainer, a chef, a language tutor, a language adviser, or a career coach, among many other personalized ideas. You can do so by accessing the Microsoft Copilot GPT Builder at copilot.microsoft.com and signing in using your Microsoft account (such as outlook.com).

Follow the setup steps included there to get started building your custom GPT. Because it is a GPT environment, you essentially need only to input the text parameters of your chatbot to begin training it. There are also instructions on how to edit the GPT, if needed. For the best results, complete the steps in the Microsoft Edge browser.

Because Copilot Pro is a paid service, it benefits from OpenAI’s latest DALL-E 3 image model, which can generate images from more elaborate text descriptions or generate from other images. It also has upgraded editing abilities. Much of the image generation for the brand’s AI subscription service takes place within the Microsoft Designer tool.

Within Copilot Pro, you can generate up to 100 images per day and have the option to create images in either landscape or square. This is a massive upgrade in comparison to the free version, which allows 15 generations per day and square images only.

A very fascinating part of Microsoft’s Copilot Pro is you can use the brand’s AI service in conjunction with other popular programs, such as the Microsoft 365 suite. The Copilot Pro chatbot and icon are integrated into all of these apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. Typically, you must have a separate Microsoft 365 subscription to access Microsoft Copilot Pro features in tandem with the apps of that service on PCs. However, to access the features without having to invest in a Microsoft 365 subscription, you can use Microsoft 365 apps through the web apps at no extra cost.

Creating presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular productivity option in the Microsoft 365 suite. Adding Copilot Pro makes the function as simple as typing a sentence. Once you’re in PowerPoint, you go to the Home tab to open the drop-down menu. This reveals the Copilot button in the upper-right corner. Click it to open the Copilot menu on the right side of the PowerPoint window.

Click Create a Presentation, type your prompt, and it will begin to generate the slides of your presentation. You can add a slide, ask questions prompts, and edit the text of your prompt to improve your presentation. You also have access to the Microsoft Designer tab in the drop-down menu, which gives you creative options for your slide within PowerPoint, since you can’t use prompts to make creative edits within Copilot. There is also the Copilot Labs section for generating ideas.

Excel is an extremely useful app for professionals who need to crunch numbers and simplify statistics. Copilot Pro can calculate, analyze, and present your figures and graphs in a manner that is easy to decipher. Once in Excel, you can access the Copilot button in the upper-right corner of the drop-down menu. If you are using Excel online, you may see a notice that says it only works with Excel table, but all of the AI functionalities are actually still intact.

If you have a file with some figures, you can highlight some text and Copilot Pro will give you some prompt ideas (such as show formula suggestions, highlight filter, sort data, and bold the first column) that you can select and will make up the entirety of your prompt once you’re done. These details will not only be the information but the look and feel of your results.

Select Ask for Insights and Excel will generate the tables and graphs with all of your data laid out. Select another insight or All insights for a more complete look at your information. Alternatively, you can enter a prompt in Copilot Pro with the parameters you desire.

Word is one of the most used apps in the Microsoft 365 suite and Copilot Pro introduces several automated features into the word processors. Before even launching Copilot Pro within Microsoft Pro, you can highlight blocks of text within Word and a Copilot icon will appear on the left of the text, indicating that it can be edited by the chatbot. Right-click the highlighted text with your mouse and you can select the options, rewrite with Copilot, or visualize as a table. It will do those functions in the text area without having to execute a prompt.

You can also access the Copilot button in the upper-right corner of the drop-down menu and use it whether you have a blank document or you’re working with an existing document.

You can type your prompt directly into Copilot Pro to generate whatever result you need, or you can get assistance via a host of assistant tabs and quick options, including write about, ask a question, and summarize this document. Summarize this document, for example, will roll out text in a bullet point format and pull credits from the source document that you can refer back to later. For further assistance in prompt generation, you can select more prompts and access Copilot Labs.

Microsoft is introducing an entirely new category of PCs, and they're all centered around Copilot+. Amid bold claims of AI PCs from industry leaders like Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, Microsoft is kicking off the era of the AI PC with a new set of hardware requirements and software features that allow your PC to go beyond an AI chatbot.

The idea behind Copilot+ isn't to have a few AI features. Instead, the dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) on a Copilot+ PC will run several language models in the background of Windows 11 -- all the time. The models will scan you through everything you do on your PC to provide context when you want to prompt Copilot properly. Microsoft calls the feature Recall and says it's like a "sensor for AI."

There's a revolution in the making. Those of us who've been watching closely know that Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite chips are rumored to be just around the corner. And they're about to ignite a bomb in the world of Windows laptops.

That might sound like exaggeration at first blush. But Qualcomm has spent the better part of this year trotting around a demo unit with this chip, and the performance so far looks pretty astounding. Not only is Qualcomm claiming that its new chips will run circles around Intel's latest Core Ultra chips -- but it's even pitting them against Apple's M3. That's right. There's even a significant jump in AI performance via the chip's neural processing unit (NPU).

The Vision Pro is a great piece of technology that's built specifically to fit into Apple’s ecosystem, but there are plenty of other great VR headsets to choose from. Many cost less while offering similar experiences. A few even challenge Apple head-on, matching and exceeding the Vision Pro's advanced technology.

Here are five headsets you should buy instead of the Vision Pro and why you might like them better than Apple's spatial computer. Meta Quest 3

Windows・Mac 「Word・Excel・PowerPointのファイルから画像を抽出できる」 アプリ

今回は、ＸでDTP用アプリ作成のヒントをいただきました。 「 Microsoft Officeのファイルから画像を抽出するアプリが欲しい！ 」ということで、早速、作成してみました。

◆ スクリプトではなくて、デスクトップアプリです

今回のプログラムは、Illustrator・Photoshop・InDesignのスクリプトではなくて、 WindowsやMac用のデスクトップアプリ です。ダウンロードしたファイルを、いつものようにスクリプトフォルダ内に入れる必要はありません。

◆ ご自身のPC環境に合わせて、アプリをダウンロードしてください

Windows 用か Mac 用か、選択をしてダウンロードしてください。 その後、ダウンロードしたzipファイルを解凍、フォルダ内のファイルをダブルクリック、ダイアログが現れるので、画像を抽出したい Microsoft Wordファイル（.docx） 、 Microsoft Excelファイル（.xlsx） 、 Microsoft PowerPointファイル（.pptx） のいずれかを選択して「開く」をクリックしてください。 複数選択も可 です。3種類のファイルがどのように選択に混じっていてもかまいません。 すると、選択したMicrosoft Officeのファイルと同じディレクトリ（階層）に「 Office_Images 」というフォルダが自動的に作成されるので、そのフォルダを開くと、選択したOfficeファイルから抽出された画像ファイルが全て保存されています。 なお画像は、元の選択したOfficeのファイルから “コピー→「Office_Images」フォルダ内にペースト” されるだけなので、 元のOfficeファイル内にも全て残っています 。抽出といっても、“切り取り” では無くて “コピー” されるだけです。

◆ 抽出される画像の品質は…

Officeソフトに貼り付けされた後の画像品質 になっています。貼り付ける前は高品質の画像であったとしても、その品質のまま抽出はできません（Officeファイルの拡張子の末尾に「x」が付くようになってから、この仕様になりました。昔の「.doc」「.xls」「.ppt」の時代は、貼り付ける前の高品質画像もOfficeファイル内に一緒に保存されていました。ただ、こちらのOfficeファイルはバイナリ形式なので、外部アプリからの画像の抽出はできません）

◆ 抽出される画像のファイル名は…

「 選択されたOfficeファイル名_保存されている画像ファイル名.拡張子 」という形になっています。1つのOfficeファイル内の画像の種類がバラバラで、拡張子が色々混じっている場合もありますが、これはOfficeソフトに貼り付ける前の画像の種類がそのままになっているためです。

◆ ダウンロードはこちらから

ダウンロード後に「 スキ 」をいただけると、今後の制作の励みになります！ ・Windows用

（ChromeやFirefoxなどの一部のブラウザで、ダウンロードがブロックされる事象が確認されていますが、このzipファイルにウイルスやマルウェアは一切含まれておりません。中身が実行ファイル（.exe）というだけで過剰にブロックされているようです。ご心配でしたら、ダウンロードを許可後、ダウンロードされたzipファイルや、その中身のexeファイルをアンチウイルスソフトで検査してみてください。何も検出されないと思います） ・Mac用
