Office word document to power point

[Di]

How do I import a word document to power point 2007? I saw a reply on
10/31/2007 and did that ("Open Power Point and Insert, Object"). However, If
I "Create New", I am asked for "Object Type", which would be either "...Word
97-2003 Document", "...Word Document", "...Word Macro-Enabled Document".
This doesn't work, since I am not creating a new file. If I "Create From
File", the "... .doc" file that I want to insert doesn't work. I get the
error message "...the file name is invalid".

I am really new to power point and would like step-by-step answers please.

Thanks

I just doublechecked this and it works like so, with either .DOC or .DOCX files:

Insert Ojbect
Click Create from File
Click Browse
Browse to the file you want to insert
Click OK

If you still get the error message about invalid file name, please post the name
of the file here.
