Yes you can save time by opening Word to create your next PowerPoint presentation. Open Word, go to the View tab and then select Outline as shown in the image below (click the image to enlarge it).
In the outline view you just type the sentence for each slide and then hit return. Although you can also create bullets in the outline mode we won't, right?
Using the Outline mode allows you to view the entire presentation from a bird's eye view. It is also much faster than trying to enter the headline text in PowerPoint's normal view. And you can use the grammar checker in Word.
Yes you can use the outline view in PowerPoint, too. But I think Word works better and gives you a better perspective.
Once you are finished with the Word document you save it and then open Powerpoint, click on new slide, then slip down to choose the option "slides from outline" (see the image below and click to enlarge).
Slides from outline allows you to import an outline created in Word and PowerPoint will create a new slide for each line in the outline.
