The PowerPoint Cramming System™

Click here to go back up a level.

What you need:

• A number of PowerPoint presentations of PPT or PPTX format
  • Use DownThemAll! if you want to download them all from a page really quickly
• FILEminimizer Office (shareware, optional but recommended, I used 7.0 which is a tad older)
• Presentation Combiner (free from GitHub)
• PowerPoint has to be installed (I used 365)

1. Download your instructor's presentations and/or keep them all in one folder for cleanliness
2. Use FILEminimizer to compress your presentations and put them in a subdirectory/another folder
   • Note, it will add watermarks but as we're focusing on outlines this will be a non-issue
   • As we won't be needing graphics, Visually Lossy (Strong) is fine
3. Use Presentation Combiner to get them all into one presentation in PowerPoint
4. In the open PPTX, go to File > Save As > Browse, select Outline/RTF (*.rtf) as the format
5. Open the exported RTF in WordPad or Word and tweak the formatting to your liking!
