Is it possible to copy and paste slides from PowerPoint presentation to a word doc?

I'm at uni and want to know if there is any way to copy and paste individual slides from a PowerPoint presentation onto a word document using my iPad?

At the moment when I try doing it I either just get the coloured background of the slide onto Word, or I just get the text, never the slide as a whole.

I'm trying to do this so I can make notes around each individual slide...can this be done?

    If you were using a PC, I would be telling you to go to "save as" , then change the "type" to jpg

    Then I would be telling you to import that jpg into word in the normal way.


    But - As you are using an ipad , I will be telling you to get rid of it and gen an android :p

    It's rather 'insert' than 'import'.

    I know nothing about iPads, but it's possible and very easy to do on a PC.

    Can you not create notes for the slide in PowerPoint?

    It's not pedantry as both 'insert' and 'import' are available and are different things. Surely this could have resulted in confusion for an inexperienced user.

    Not really

    Definition of the word import from Cambridge dictionary :-

    specialized computing : to ​copy ​information from one ​computer or ​computer ​program to another:

    You IMPORT it into word.
    The thing you click might be under a header called insert - but I wasn't advising what to click, I was advising what to do.

    My original post stands

    If unable to save the graphic itself, try doing a screencap, and paste/save that - edit as required, before using!
    breathe in, breathe out- You're alive! Everything else is a bonus, right? RIGHT??
