Published on November 27, 2020 by David Parker

Creating PowerPoint Presentations automatically from Visio

Visio Plan 2 has a great, but flawed, feature called Slide Snippets, that can create PowerPoint presentations automatically from any number of titled rectangles, on any number of pages in a Visio document. However, it usually creates distorted images, and it does not automatically contain any descriptive text or hyperlinks. I have previously described how the distortions can be manually fixed (see Manual Fix for Slide Snippets in Visio Plan 2 ), but that is tedious, so I have written a Visio add-in, SS Plus, to not only fix the image, but also allow hyperlinks to be added to it, and to include descriptive text that can include bold, italics and hyperlinks … and can be automatically converted into SmartArt layouts!

  • Simply edit the ScreenTip in Visio
  • .. to create SmartArt with Hyperlinks in PowerPoint
  • Denote bold and italic text in Visio
  • .. to create richer text blocks in PowerPoint
  • Add a hyperlink to the Slide Snippet in Visio
  • … to become an image hyperlink in PowerPoint

If you want to read more then please go to SS Plus to learn how you can try it for free!
