Method 2: Send to Word(Microsoft Office 2008/2004 for Mac)
Unlike Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, in Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac 2011, there isn't any "Send To" Button. The mechanism in the Mac version was so limited and the result so worthless that it was dropped from the menu in PPT 2011.

  • In PowerPoint 2008, only the slide titles will be converted over to Word in outline form.
  • In PowerPoint 2004, the entire text content of each slide is converted over to Word, but no graphics are included.
