I have just spent a reasonable amount of time trying to work out how to "File -> Send to -> Microsoft Office PowerPoint" as i have Office 2007, not 2003. I Googled it, and used the Help function in both Word and PowerPoint but still could not work it out, which was very disappointing as I can see how using the Outline view in Word would save a lot of time rather than fooling around with dot points in PowerPoint.
As I have been unable to send my outline to PowerPoint, I have now started to manually put the dot points etc. into my presentation.

I have just finished my first interactive PowerPoint which was very easy to do, despite having instructions for using the 2003 Office program.
I would definitely use an interactive PowerPoint in the classroom as a way to break the monotony of delivering content in a secondary school class.
PowerPoint could be used innovatively to develop entire assessment preparation for a unit of work.
For example, the PowerPoint could include content, quizzes, hyperlinks to online media, images and I could even embed YouTube video's.
Details for a class assignment could be placed on the PowerPoint as well as tips and hints.
Examples of the Bibliography format required could be added.
PowerPoint would be a fantastic way to allow students to explore the content of a unit away from their desks.
If using a PowerPoint as a core resource, I feel it would be useful to provide student's wtih a 'take-home' copy, whether that be by uploading the PowerPoint to a class Website or allowing students to save it to personal storage devices.

Mel, had the same problem myself with sending it from Word to Powerpoint. Most schools will probably have 2007. The only answer I could come up with was to save the document first and open it in Powerpoint instead of trying to send it through as the course instructions stated. I can see your point about it being an easier way to plan rather than using dot points in Powerpoint.
