From Word to PowerPoint - the art of creating a slide deck from a document

How to create gorgeous and cool Slide Deck Presentations from a simple Word document (without the rigmarole of repeated ‘copy and paste’)

Do You REALLY Want to ‘Copy and Paste’ EVERY Time They Ask You to Do This?

You know the scenario.

A client  or your Executive sends you a Word document and says: “Can you work your magic on this and turn it into a presentation?”

And your heart sinks a little.

Yes, of course you can turn those pages into slides for PowerPoint. You’re a star... but you know how long it’s going to take you. And there’s one repetitive bit that just feels a bit of a mind-numbing chore.

Copy and paste. Copy and paste. Copy and paste. Copy and paste. Copy and paste.

And repeat until you’ve transferred it all over from Word.

Time-consuming and not that exciting.

But it doesn’t have to be that way...

There’s a creative shortcut.

It speeds things up, saves you time and makes the process a lot more fun.

Let me show you how. This 90-minute training gives you everything you need to turn a simple Word document into a slide deck as cool, clear and jazzy as a spring gig in the park.

You’ll get back the time you spend on this course with the first project you handle, using what you now know.

Every time after that you’ll get the job done better and faster. Your clients and Executives will think you’re either a genius or a magician. They’ll wonder how you managed it (but it can be our little secret).

This is a short, easy-to-follow, training but packs a punch when it comes to content.

The Magic is Already Out There

When I shared this knowledge and training at the Exec Sec Tech virtual event, the audience went ‘Wow!’. When you take this course, I think you’ll be the same. It really does feel like you’re waving a magic wand at your computer.

I’m not promising you’ll be able to ditch ‘copy and paste’ forever but knowing how to create a smart deck of slides from a simple Word document will make your life so much easier.

Find out for yourself and invest in your future with this step-by-step training. You’ll wonder how and why you never knew about this VA wizardry before.
