About PPT to DOC Conversion
PPT is Microsoft PowerPoint's legacy binary presentation format (1997-2003), storing slides, animations, and media in an OLE2 compound document structure. DOC is Microsoft Word's legacy binary word processing format from the same era. Converting PPT to DOC extracts the textual content from a presentation and restructures it as a linear word processing document — moving content from slide boxes into flowing paragraphs and pages.
The conversion takes each slide's text content — titles, bullet points, text boxes, and optionally speaker notes — and organizes it as sections in a DOC document. Slide titles become headings, bullet lists become Word lists, and tables preserve their row-column structure. The visual slide design (backgrounds, shapes, animations) is replaced by Word's text-flow layout.
Why Convert PPT to DOC?
Presentations contain structured information that frequently needs to be redistributed as written documents. Meeting minutes, training handouts, and project summaries often originate as slide decks but must be delivered as Word documents for recipients who need to read, annotate, or edit the content. Converting PPT to DOC produces an editable document from the presentation's textual content.
DOC is the appropriate target format when the destination system requires the Word 97-2003 binary format specifically. Legacy document management systems, court filing systems, and government portals built before 2007 often accept DOC but not DOCX. This conversion provides both content extraction and format compliance in a single step.
Common Use Cases
- Create written handouts from training or conference presentation slides
- Extract PPT content for inclusion in reports submitted to legacy DOC-only systems
- Generate meeting summary documents from presentation slide decks
- Archive presentation text content in an editable word processing format
- Repurpose sales presentation content as written proposals
How It Works
LibreOffice opens the PPT binary using its PowerPoint import filter, which parses the OLE2 compound file structure to reconstruct slide content, text runs, and embedded objects. Text is extracted from each slide's text frames and organized into a DOC document structure. Slide titles map to Heading 1 style, body text and bullet lists map to body and list paragraph styles. Tables are preserved as DOC table structures. Speaker notes, if requested, are appended after each slide's content. The output is a binary OLE2 DOC file compatible with Word 97-2003 and all later versions.
Quality & Performance
Text content transfers completely — all slide titles, bullet points, text box content, and table data are captured. Visual slide elements (backgrounds, shapes, animations, transitions, SmartArt) are not preserved since DOC is a text-flow format. The output is a text-focused representation of the presentation content, suitable as a starting point for a polished document. Charts are converted to static images or their underlying data is extracted where possible.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Edit the DOC to add connecting prose between sections — slide content jumps between topics without transitions
- 2Include speaker notes if they contain explanations not present on the slides
- 3Remove slide numbers and decorative text that does not belong in a written document
- 4Apply consistent formatting after conversion since different slides may use different text styles
- 5Treat the DOC as a first draft that needs polishing, not a finished document
