That depends on what you want to do. In PowerPoint itself, you can put a link to a Word document and show some text from it. You could type your text in Word and then copy and paste it into PowerPoint. You could create something in Word and do a Print Screen of the page and paste that into PowerPoint.
You can also display a Word document, in part or in whole on a projection screen directly from a computer. However, if you do not take great care, the text in your Word document will be too small for the audience of your presentation to read.
A slide is a single screen of a presentation, and every presentation is composed of several slides. The slides contain the information you want to communicate with your audience.
Editing a presentation.
In Microsoft PowerPoint the Master Slide is the template for the other slides in the presentation. On it you can put things that are to appear on all the slides; these items will not be selectable and you will not be able to edit them when creating and editing the slides of your presentation. Go to the Help for your application (press <F1>) and search for more help. Also see related links.
slides
A presentation is a document, which is presented by slides instead of report format. It makes it easier to show the audience what you are trying to sell/promote. Microsoft PowerPoint is a well known software program for this.
You can set your defaults to specify either a portrait or landscape orientation for slides in a new presentation.
Slides.
You could copy the slides from Powerpoint or do screenshots of them into Word. They won't run like a presentation, so animations won't be active. You can also put a link into a Word document and link to a Powerpoint presentation.
