For some reason Paste was greyed out for me when I tried to do this. A couple of comments about my experience, which since nobody else has mentioned them, may be ideosyncratic.ġ) I needed to have the Developer box checked in the right column ofĮlse I couldn’t see the Developer-> Macros tab, and therefore couldn’t proceed.ģ) Jason says to cut and paste the contents of ConvertToBeamer into the Visual Basic window. Thanks very much Jason for putting this together, it’s an invaluable contribution. Hopefully others find this useful as well. Even with figuring it out for the first time, tweaking the code, and writing this post, it still probably saved me several hours of work. Fortunately I found this page that will indent TeX code automatically. One issue I had with the output was that it didn’t have any indentations, making it hard to recognize nested bullets. I also found that some tables came through fine while others needed manual tweaking. Look out for $, %, carriage returns, and all types of quotation marks and apostrophes. You need to manually fix a few special characters, as always when importing text into TeX.(It won’t compile without an appropriate header.) If your file is called “MySlides.ppt” the text file will be “MySlides.txt” txt file with the Beamer code for your slides in it. Hit the Macros button again, select “ConvertToBeamer” and run it.
