Opening PowerPoint as a Word doc

[alandmei]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I am a student and my professor has her PowerPoints set up to open as Word documents so we can take notes along with them- this works perfect, it's laid out like the handouts with notes, but works perfect for taking notes on a computer along with the PowerPoint. When I try to do this for a different class and try to convert the PowerPoint into a Word doc, it gives each slide as a page- not what I am looking for, it even does this if I set the print preferences to Handouts with 3 slides per page with notes. Help, please!

I'm afraid that the Send to Word feature in Mac PPt is grossly inferior to
how it's implemented in the Win version. The capability you're looking for
simply doesn't exist in the Mac Version and I don't know of any workaround.

You might consider using Help> Send Feedback to add your need for this
feature to the requests already in the MacBU database. The more requests the
more likely we are to see it in the next version, but don't expect any
immediate changes.
