How to export Keynote slides to a Word document?

Hi

I need to be able to export my Keynote presentation (saved as ppt) to a Word document (i.e. I will save Pages as .doc) I wondered if this is possible and if so how to go about doing so.

I have just changed from a Microsoft-based laptop to the MacBook and know how to do this on the former but not a clue on the Apple.

All help will be much appreciated.

You can drag a slide directly from the Navigator sidebar in Keynote to a Pages document, and have the slide appear on the page. You can also export slides as images, or you can export as a PDF, and drag each slide separately into the document (open in Preview, and drag the thumbnail from the sidebar).

I would caution, however, about presenting an exported presentation without looking at it in PowerPoint first.

Welcome to the forums!

Can you clarify what you need to do? Do you have Office on your Mac? If so, I'd suggest simply converting both the Pages doc and Keynote presentation to their respective Office formats and then do the merging in the system you know.

Hi Tulse

No I don't have Office just iWorks. I have a presentation that I will be showing (saved as powerpoint) and I want to be able to copy/import the slides and put them into an existing document so that delegates that I am presenting to have a hard copy to take-away.

Thanks in advance for your help

Brilliant thanks Tulse. Bit more manual than when doing it from Ppt to Word but actually more flexible in terms of how it looks etc once there so thank you - really appreciate your help.
