Tired of Making PowerPoint Slides from Scratch? Microsoft Copilot Just Changed the Game

Let’s be honest—creating PowerPoint slides from scratch is a time drain.

You sit down with a well-written document or a pile of notes, full of good ideas… and then? You’re stuck trying to design something that doesn’t look like a last-minute school project.

If that sounds familiar, you’ll love what Microsoft just rolled out.

Now You Can Turn Word Docs into PowerPoint Slides—Fast

Thanks to a new Microsoft Copilot update, you can now automatically generate PowerPoint slides straight from a Word document. Yes—what once took hours now takes seconds.

If you’re using Microsoft 365 with a Copilot license, this feature is ready for you to try. Just make sure your apps are up to date.

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

What Is Microsoft Copilot?

If you’re new to it, Copilot is Microsoft’s built-in AI assistant for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. It helps you get work done faster by turning commands into actions—like summarizing content, formatting documents, or (in this case) building slides for you.

With this new feature, you can highlight a specific section in your Word file—or use the entire document—and Copilot will instantly create a ready-made slide. No more copying and pasting, no more fixing text boxes, and no more fussing with font sizes.

A Smart Starting Point for Any Presentation

While it won’t add your brand’s custom colors or graphics just yet, it does give you a clean, professional layout to work with.

This means you or your team can jump straight to refining your message—not wrestling with design issues.

And that’s a big deal.

Why This Matters for Your Business

Whether you’re pitching ideas, giving updates to your team, or prepping for client meetings, presentations are still one of the top ways we share information.

But let’s face it—designing them takes time. Time you could spend doing more strategic work.

Now, with the power of Copilot:

• You can start with a solid Word document

• Turn it into slides with just a few clicks

• And spend more time refining your ideas—not formatting bullet points

It’s not about replacing your input. It’s about removing the busywork so you can focus on what matters most.

Ready to Try It?

If your company uses Microsoft 365 and you have access to Copilot, you can start today. Just open PowerPoint and give it a go.
