Have you ever caught yourself staring at a blank PowerPoint slide, wondering how to turn a pile of notes into something that looks professional?

Maybe you have a well-written Word document but no idea how to turn it into a presentation that is clear, polished, and engaging.

Getting it right can take hours, especially if you are juggling other work at the same time.

Here is some great news: Microsoft has just made that problem a lot easier to solve.

A new update to Microsoft Copilot means it can now create individual PowerPoint slides directly from a Word file. What used to take you ages can now be done in seconds.

I am sure I am not the only one excited about this.

Copilot is Microsoft’s AI assistant, built into tools like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Think of it as a smart helper that understands what you are trying to do and takes care of the heavy lifting.

With this new feature, you can ask Copilot to create a slide based on a section of your Word document, or even the whole thing. It will generate a ready-to-edit slide with your content already there.

No more copying and pasting text. No more fiddling with layouts or checking if your fonts match. That is a huge relief.

It will not handle custom colors or background images yet, but it gives you a solid, professional starting point to work from. That means your team can focus on fine-tuning your message, not wrestling with formatting.

This is a real win for businesses.

Presentation slides are still a big part of how we share ideas. Whether you are pitching to clients, reporting to your team, or mapping out your next move, creating slides takes time and attention to detail. Some days, you would rather be doing anything else.

Now, you can start with a well-written Word document and have Copilot turn it into slides in just a few clicks. You still have full control to make tweaks and add your personal touch, but the most time-consuming part is done for you.

If your business already uses Microsoft 365 and you have a Copilot license, you can try this now. Just make sure you are on the latest version of the apps.

In PowerPoint, look for the “New Slide with Copilot” option under the Home tab, or just click the Copilot button and choose “Add a slide.”

This is not just about saving time, although it will do that. It is about freeing your team to focus on communicating ideas clearly and confidently, without getting stuck on bullet points and box sizes.

If PowerPoint presentations are part of your daily routine, it might be time to give Copilot a try. If you need help getting started, we are here for you. Reach out any time.
