Hi Steve;
Yeah, ASCII will also work, but it doesn't preserve any of the formatting. I
think that's the main reason that Help recommends RTF.

The document does have to be created as an outline (preferably using Word),
but the items do not have to be formatted using Heading 1 - Heading 5 Styles
as long as the styles you do use include Levels 1-5 (such as List, List 2,
etc.). However, the biggest difference is that the file *must* be saved in
RTF format. Mac PPT cannot import the outline if it is saved as .doc or
..docx -- go figure :-) For more info see PPT Help on the topic:
The Win version has always been able to import a plain ascii text file; I
expect the Mac version will as well. Try like so:
This will become the title of Slide 1
This will become the title of Slide 2
<tab>Bullet level 1
<tab><tab>Bullet level 2
<tab><tab>Bullet level 2 again
<tab><tab><tab>Bullet level 3
<tab><tab>Bullet level 2 again
This is the title of Slide 3
Replace <tab> with a tab character, natch.
Save it as a text file, then open it from within PPT.
