While Microsoft PowerPoint is considered as the only presentation application in the MS Office suite, we can also use other Office apps for this purpose. This might not only be a convenient method of presenting your ideas but may also be desirable. While you can add videos via embed code and from a local drive to PowerPoint, some documents may contain lengthy text which may be more suitable for presentation purposes using Microsoft Word. You can accompany such a presentation with a video or video presentation to present your ideas more efficiently.
When To Use MS Word As A Presentation Tool?
In this post we will show you how to insert YouTube Videos in Microsoft Word to use it as a presentation tool. This method may also be useful when you don’t have MS PowerPoint installed on your computer or might require sending wordy documents with a video presentation to someone. In such a case sending a MS Word document may seem more reasonable than multiple PowerPoint slides.
