Hi Pranav,
You cannot import a Powerpoint file directly into DBT.

Hi all,
Can I directly print a PowerPoint file? That is, if I have a
PowerPoint file that has text and embedded graphics, could I
print that file as is with the graphics and text?

Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for posting these steps on the list! I
have been trying to Braille about three power point files in
the past week. Thank you Betsy for asking the question!

Betsy,
Here are some notes I wrote a while ago for someone
wanting to Braille
off a PowerPoint document:
1. From PowerPoint, File menu, Save as, change Save
As type from
Presentation to Outline/RTF and click save. The
presentation will be
saved with the filetype ".rtf".
2. From Word, File menu, Open, change Files of type
to All Files or Rich
Text Format, and load the document.
3. Check the following:
* The titles of each slide will be in Heading 1
style; these can
be left.
* The bullet points within each slide may be Normal
or a heading
style - change them all to Normal.
* Go through each slide and make sure the Normal
style paragraphs
are consistent.
* If there are lists within lists, i.e. indented
paragraphs, these
indents may need to be re-input.
4. Save the Word document.
5. From the DBT menu, choose Duxbury Braille.
6. Choose the template as usual, and check that the
import filter is
"Microsoft Word 6 or later".
Hope this helps,
Steve

I know we've been down this trail before, but I
can't seem to find
anything in my files about getting the text out of
the powerpPoint
files into Word and on to Duxbury, 10.5. I'm using
xp Home. I am able
to open the .ppt files. Thanks for any and all
suggestions.
Betsy
