2. Hover over Import. There are two options to import a PowerPoint
1. PowerPoint as Images: This imports the image of each slide into your flipchart. Instead of having different text boxes or images you can edit, the whole slide becomes one image so you can’t edit specific objects within the slide. Your transformed flipchart pages will look exactly the same as your original PowerPoint slides.
2. PowerPoint as Objects: This imports all of the objects in the PowerPoint individually so you are able to edit text, move objects, etc. The downside to this method is that the slides are often changed when they’re imported into ActivInspire. All objects will be imported but they will likely shifted from their original position.
3. Once you’ve decided how you want to import the PowerPoint, select the desired option and the PowerPoint will begin to import. If this method fails, follow the instructions below.
4. Open the PowerPoint file you want to import. Re-save the file on the desktop and make sure the file name is no more 5 characters and contains no spaces.
5. Close the PowerPoint and return to ActivInspire. Follow steps 1-2 again to import the PowerPoint presentation.
