While DOCX file formats are very useful to submit your documents such as your reports, Guides, etc, you can’t use them for presenting. In case you want to present the document as a presentation using projectors, you can use MS Word to open the file but it will not be as impressive as a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation. So you have to convert the DOCX document to a PPTX file and then use it with Microsoft Powerpoint.

In case you do not have any idea what these file types are, then let us explain them to you. DOCX is a file type that the Microsoft Word program uses to save files. DOCX is an upgraded version of DOC that is used with MS Office versions 2007 and above up to Microsoft 365. The DOC format should be the one to choose to save files compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word.

Whereas PPTX files are the ones that Microsoft Powerpoint uses for storing PowerPoint presentation files. Similarly, PPTX is the upgraded version of the PPT file used by MS office version 2007 and above. You have to save the file in .ppt format if you are planning to use it with an older version of MS office. So if you are wondering how you can convert to PPTX format, do not worry. Because we have written this article just to solve this particular issue.

Method 1: Using convertio.co

ConvertIO is an online conversion tool that will help you to convert between various file formats. One of them being the Docx to PPTX conversion. So to convert your word document file to PowerPoint presentation format, follow these steps:

Method 2: Using Online 2 PDF

This is another great online tool that can help you to complete the work quickly. Although I prefer this tool over the one that I have mentioned previously. This tool is very simple and fast. But its interface looks a bit old when compared to ConvertIO. But looks can be deceiving, but the tool can get your job done.

Select the file type to which you want to convert the file to. in this case, you have to select PPTX.
