Converting a PowerPoint File to a Notebook File
Did you know that you can convert a PowerPoint file into a SMART Notebook File? Did you know that the state in which the most US presidents were born is Virginia? If you answered no to either of these questions, read on.
To convert a PowerPoint, open up Notebook and click on File. Select Import and make sure it is set to find “All PowerPoint files.” Browse for your PowerPoint file and select it. Important Note: Make sure the PowerPoint file you are converting is not open on your computer.

have another look you probably just missed it.
With Notebook 10 open CLICK>File>Import. Once you have selected this option a dialogue box will open. Locate your PowerPoint file and then, CLIKCK>Open.
We hope this helps!

I too cannot find the import option. I’m running on a mac.

Hi Andy . . . you are correct there is not an “Import” option on the Mac side of the Notebook. I wish there was a better answer but, there isn’t an alternative at this time.

Hi, do you know how to convert Notebook files to power point?

Hi, the answer depends on your operating system. If you are NB and a PC then follow these steps.
1) Open the NB files you would like to convert
2) Click, “File” > “Export” > PowerPoint
3) Select where you would like to save the file and click “Save”
On the Mac side there is no export to PPT option; however, you can export NB files as Web pages (HTML), PDF, or as a collection of images.

Hi,
just stumbled upon this site and can help with the import question for the mac…but then have a question of my own.
How I have been converting powerpoints to notebooks is:
- File -> Save As then when it opens the dialog box go to Format and select PDF
I just save it to my desktop and then re save it as a Notebook file. There may be a better/faster way, but this is the only thing I have come up with that works….
Now, having said that…my current issue is that once I have done this, I cannot seem to edit it in Notebook, and I usually end up wanting to change something each time I use it…so if anyone can help with that, I would love the input!
Thanks!

Because on a MAC, you change the PPT to either a PDF or JPEG files, it puts all elements together as one picture. As a result, you are not able to edit the individual components. On the other hand, the import procedure on a PC treats each element as a separate object and editing is quite simple.
