Import Text
You can import text from Word to create a new presentation or add slides to an existing presentation.
A Word outline is the easiest kind of document to import because it is formatted with styles and each heading level is translated into a corresponding level of text in PowerPoint.

Embedding Data
When you move data among applications by cutting or copying and pasting, Office changes the format of the information you are moving so that it can be used in the destination file.
When it is easier to edit the information using the original application, you can embed the information as an object by accessing the Insert Object dialog box. The embedded information becomes part of the new file, but as a separate object that can be edited using the application that created it.

Editing Embedded Data
To make changes to the Word file embedded in the PowerPoint presentation, double-click the text you want to edit. Word, the application in which the file was created, opens so that you can edit the text. When you finish and return to PowerPoint, the presentation includes the changes you made to the text.

gridlines. – Guide settings display a set of crosshairs on the screen to help
