105.0. "Insert .txt file?" by HPCGRP::TOOMEY () Wed Feb 12 1997 09:11

    I am unable to insert a .txt file in powerpoint ever since I've been
    using Windows95.  I get an error "sorry there was an error reading the
    outline"  It used to work in the older version.  Any suggestions
    on how I can bring a .txt file into powerpoint Windows95?
    
    Thanks

I've had no trouble inserting slides from .RTF files, or cutting
and pasting directly from Word to PowerPoint.  I'd suggest you
open the .TXT in Word, Save As... .RTF, and then Insert Slides
from File....

Don't ask me what the diffence is between Insert Slides from 
File... and Insert Slides from Outline.... I use from File...,
select a .RTF, and it works.  I tried a .TXT file just now, and
got one slide for each paragraph in the file. YMMV.
