Pro Efficiency Tips

• Extract speech scripts: For text-heavy PPTs, choose “Layout Preservation Mode” to maintain paragraph hierarchy and reduce post-editing time.
• Organize outlines: First extract key pages (e.g., title slides, table of contents) with the PPT Split tool, then convert to generate concise outlines.
• Handle image text: Text within PPT images (e.g., screenshot text) requires prior OCR recognition (VIP feature) before converting to editable text.

Conversion Modes & Format Preservation

Two modes suit different needs—here’s a comparison:

Format Preservation Details:

• Text content: 100% extraction including text boxes, shape text, and table cell content.
• List structures: Ordered lists (1. 2. 3.) and unordered lists (• ◦ □) maintain hierarchy.
• Font styles: Bold, italic, and underline preserved; font families may replace with system defaults.

Post-Conversion Word Optimization Tips

Optimize extracted Word documents with these methods:

• Standardize formatting: Use Word’s “Styles” feature to unify headings and body text for document consistency.
• Add content: Insert transition sentences and notes between extracted text for better flow (especially for speech script organization).
• Insert images: Copy images from the original PPT and paste into corresponding Word positions to create图文-combined documents.
• Convert to PDF: After optimization, use the Word to PDF tool to generate final versions for sharing.

Cross-Platform Support & Batch Processing

Micro PDF supports all usage scenarios:

• Web browser: Batch convert files on desktop—perfect for extracting meeting PPT text and generating minutes in office settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the converted Word include images from the PPT?

No. Only text content is extracted. For images, manually copy from PPT or use the PPT to Image tool to extract and insert separately.

2. How large of PPT files can free users convert?

Free users can convert PPTs up to 200MB per file, max 3 files per session. VIP users support 500MB per file, 10 files per session, and unlock OCR image text extraction.

3. Are WordArt and special fonts extracted properly?

WordArt converts to plain editable text (special effects may be lost). Special font text content is fully preserved, but formatting may replace with similar system fonts.

4. Do animations and transitions affect conversion?

No effect. Conversion extracts static text content only, unrelated to animations or transitions—no need to remove them beforehand.

5. Can I extract text from only specific PPT slides?

Yes. First delete unwanted slides in PPT, or save a new file containing only target slides, then upload for conversion.

6. What if the converted Word has duplicate text or garbled characters?

• Duplicate text: May result from overlapping text boxes in PPT—delete hidden text boxes before conversion.
• Garbled characters: Usually caused by special symbols; use Word’s “Find and Replace” to correct them.

7. Does the converted Word preserve PPT table structures?

Yes. In Layout Preservation Mode, text from PPT tables extracts to Word maintaining row-column relationships and table structure—ready for editing.
