Summary:

Note: The following procedure only works with version 1.x of More. However, a More 2.x or 3.x outline can be saved in 1.x format and then imported into PowerPoint. The ability to import More 2.x and 3.x outlines is under review for inclusion in a future release of PowerPoint.

To transfer a MORE or ThinkTank file into Microsoft PowerPoint slides, do the following:


 * 1) Open a new PowerPoint presentation.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Page Setup to set the paper size and orientation.
 * 3) From the View menu, choose Slide Master and make sure PowerPoint’s default settings are appropriate for the outline. PowerPoint uses these defaults to create the slides.
 * 4) From the View menu, choose Slides.
 * 5) On Slide #1, draw a word processing box. From the Text menu, choose Show Text Ruler and Line Spacing to set the indents, tabs, and line spacing for the outline. Then, from the Text menu, choose Set As Default.
 * 6) From the View menu, choose Slide Sorter, and put the insertion point where the new slides are to be positioned within the presentation.
 * 7) From the File menu, choose Paste From. Select the MORE or ThinkTank file to be imported as slides, and click Open.
 * 8) PowerPoint automatically creates the slides corresponding to the outline. A dialog box is displayed asking whether or not to paste the MORE or ThinkTank files into slides. Click the Slide option, then click OK.
