How to Convert Word to PowerPoint in Office 2010?

How can I convert Word doc to PowerPoint presentation?

Trivial question: When you have finished an essay/proposal on Word 2010, but your professor/boss wants you to make a PowerPoint presentation based on the doc. In this situation, would you mind coping title/subtitles one by one from the doc and then pasting them on PowerPoint slides? No, never. That's a waist of time. With the help of build-in formatting feature from Office 2010, we can simply save Word as PowerPoint.

Step 1: Open the Word document on Word 2010.

Step 2: Now set the Styles of Headlines. Click the little box below Change Styles to show the Styles window. Headline 1 should be chose as Title, Headline 2, 3 and 4 can be chose as Heading 2, 3 and 4 respectively (depends on what kinds of Styles you need). Click File and Save after Style setting.

Step 3: Launch PowerPoint 2010. Click File and Open to import the previous Word document. Now you can see the Headline 1 becomes the title of every slide, other Headlines become bullet points.

How to Add Watermark on Your PowerPoint Presentation?

When you have finished editing a business PowerPoint presentation and ready to sent it to business partner, do you have any tips to promote your company/products by the way? Well, one of the methods is to add a logo or watermark on your slides. There are at least 2 ways to do this little trick. Don't know how? Let's take a look.

Method 1 Add logo or watermark on PowerPoint 2010

If you're using PowerPoint 2010, you can add watermark on the slides at ease.

Step 1 Open the PowerPoint presentation. Click View and then choose Slide Master.

Step 2 The screen will defaultly show the second slide. Remember to scroll it to the first slide otherwise you'll fail to add watermark on all slides. Click Insert tab to put a Word or picture on the slide.

Step 3 Add a Word as watermark. Click the WordArt button and choose a designed style. You can simply adjust its position and edit text. More editing functions can be found under the Format tab.

Add a picture or logo as watermark. Click the Picture button and choose a suitable picture from your folder. Size and position of the logo can be adjusted manually.

Step 4 After the watermark insertion, just click the Slide Master tab and choose Close Master View to return.

Done. Now you can see the watermarks ( both word and picture) are successfully added to every slide of the PowerPoint presentation.

Method 2  Convert PowerPoint to video with watermark

Do you notice some of the online videos, especially movie clips are watermarks added? Considering that it's more difficult to remove the watermark from a video than that of a slide, for the sake of safety, it's not a bad idea to convert PowerPoint to video format. Additionally, words, pics and other elements will become uneditable neither.

Before the conversion, we need to install PPT to Video Converter, a free download tool that enables to convert PPT files to different video formats with customized picture watermarks.

Step 1 Download, install and launch PPT to Video Converter. On the main interface, click Add button to import the presentation.

Step 2 Click Customize button, a new window named Customized settings pops up. Click Watermark tab. Another window called Logo & Video Layout appears.

Step 3 On the Logo & Video Layout window, click Add button to add one or multiple pictures as watermarks from your computer. Position and size of the watermarks are editable by simply drag and drop on the left preview screen.

Margin Size, Margin Fill and Color are also editable. If everything is OK,click the OK button to confirm and return to main interface.

Step 4 Click Profile drop-down menu as well as Settings button to set the output video format. Make sure the converted video can be played on your device perfectly.

Step 5 Click the Start button to start the progress. When it's finished, you can play or share the video with watermark as you like.

10.1-Inch Budget Android Tablet, Viewing PPT on Polaroid M10

Polaroid M10

Polaroid is a company who's famous for its cameras. When people talk about this brand nowadays, most of them may not remind themselves of Android devices, let alone Android tablets. The company firstly announced a 7-inch tablet named M7 this year. After that, another larger Android based tablet, Polaroid M10, has also debuted at CES 2013.

The Polaroid M10 comes with a 10.1-inch IPS display in 1280 x 800 pixels. Visual angle of the screen is improved on the premise of high visual quality. The M10 is powered by a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor and  has 1 GB of RAM. The tablet runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

As to other specs, the M10 has a 2.0 MP front-facing camera. There's also a 5.0 MP one on the back side, which supports HD video shooting. Moreover, The tablet provides a SIM card slot, a microSD card slot and a microHDMI video output interface, helps user connect it to a more suitable display device.

One important thing to be noted about the Polaroid M10: Despite the newest Android 4.1 is running on the tablet, it's not the true meaning of a "with Google" device. Therefore some Android apps may be unavailable on the device. I wonder if user can play PowerPoint on Polaroid M10 since Office suite is such a frequently-used app for daily life.

Priced at budget $229 and to be released in early 2013, the tablet doesn't have high configurations like any other Android tablets, but the brand of Polaroid and a reasonable price can also make it competitive enough.

Random question: How many smartphone brands can you list in 30 seconds without searching on Google? Apple, Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sony, Nokia, htc... Well, perhaps you're familiar with these international brands just because you not only hear about them but probably use their products.

The Oppo Find 5

Today I'm not planning to talk about the above brands. Along with the popularity of open-sourced Android, more and more formerly unpopular manufacturers start to produce their smartphones, one of them is Oppo, a Chinese company. Last month, Oppo announced a new phone model named Find 5, which will be sold in China at the end of January.

For specifications, the Oppo Find 5 is equipped with a 5.0-inch IPS LCD screen with 1080 x 1920 pixels and outstanding 441 ppi. It's powered by a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm APQ8064 quad-core, graphics are crunches by an Adreno 320 GPU. This handset has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of build-in storage (no microSD slot). As to cameras, the phone comes with a 13 MP rear camera with dual LED and a 1.9 MP front-facing one. A 2500 mAh battery keeps the lights on and Android 4.1.2 is installed on the machine.

The Oppo Find 5

The Oppo Find 5 has quite lots of highlights: the extremely fast quad-core CPU, 3.25 mm super-thin bezel, most advanced camera and the high-end "Dirac HD" audio sound systems. Of course, the most important one that catches my eyes is its large screen. As Oppo's official website says, the high-definition display "allows you to experience a world of crystal clarity and the most realistic colors". It could be an enjoyment of watching HD movies or viewing PowerPoint on Oppo Find 5.

According to gizchina's report, the Oppo Find 5 will be available in China on January 29. The 16 GB version is priced at 2,998 yuan ($485) while the 32 GB version is 3,298 yuan ($530).
