About PPT to DOCX Conversion
PPT is PowerPoint's legacy binary presentation format, organizing content as visual slides. Word format (DOCX) organizes content as flowing text with paragraphs, headings, and pages. Converting PPT to Word extracts the textual content from a legacy presentation and restructures it as a modern editable Word document — simultaneously changing both the content paradigm (slides to document) and the format generation (legacy binary to modern XML).
The "word" format alias resolves to DOCX, meaning the output is a modern Word Open XML document. Slide titles become document headings, bullet points become Word lists, tables preserve their structure, and speaker notes can be included. The visual slide design is replaced by Word's text-flow layout.
Why Convert PPT to DOCX?
Legacy PPT files contain valuable content — training materials, business presentations, project reports — that needs to be accessible and editable in modern tools. Word format (DOCX) is the standard for editable business documents, compatible with Microsoft 365, Google Docs, and every major word processor. Converting PPT to Word liberates the content from an aging presentation format and places it in the most widely supported document format.
This conversion also enables content repurposing. Presentation slides are designed for visual impact during a talk, but the underlying content often needs to be reformatted as written reports, training manuals, or reference documents. Word is the natural format for these secondary uses.
Common Use Cases
- Extract content from legacy PPT files into modern editable Word documents
- Create written reports and documentation from old presentation slide decks
- Import PPT content into Google Docs for collaborative editing
- Generate reference handouts from legacy training presentations
- Archive PPT content in a format that enables full-text search and editing
How It Works
LibreOffice opens the PPT binary by parsing the OLE2 structure, extracting slide text, tables, and embedded images. The content is exported as DOCX: slide titles become Heading 1 styles, bullet lists become Word list paragraphs, tables become OOXML table structures, and images are stored in word/media/. Speaker notes, if requested, are placed below each slide's content. The output is a well-formed OOXML ZIP archive compatible with Word 2007+ and all modern word processors.
Quality & Performance
Text content transfers completely. Slide structure maps cleanly to document headings and body paragraphs. Tables and lists preserve their hierarchy. Visual design elements (backgrounds, shapes, positioning, animations) are not preserved since Word is a text-flow format. Charts and SmartArt are converted to static images. The output serves as a comprehensive text extraction, not a visual reproduction.

Tips for Best Results
- 1Treat the Word output as a first draft — add connecting prose and reorganize for document flow
- 2Use Word's table of contents feature on the auto-generated headings
- 3Include speaker notes if they contain context not present on the slides
- 4Clean up formatting inconsistencies from mixed slide styles
- 5Remove slide-specific elements (slide numbers, transition text) that do not belong in a document
