Word Export to PowerPoint feature removed?

After using Office extensively for 30+ yrs, I don't recall ever using that feature. I did often use the PowerPoint feature to pull a Word doc into the app. It's still there. On the PowerPoint Home Ribbon, click the Context Menu arrow below the New Slide button. Select Slides from Outline... Navigate to your Word doc and all the text will be pulled into your slide deck. You will need to do some cleanup.

 Now, go to the View Ribbon and select the Outline View (in the first group - Presentation Views) to combine text or create new slides.

It is official: Microsoft has retired the capability to 
Export Word documents to PowerPoint presentations - Microsoft Support

My thoughts are Copilot has replaced it. In PowerPoint, you can Ask Copilot to create a presentation using up to 3 reference documents.

I do not why the Microsoft plays such game with the users. No one knows the answers. Let them do any experiments to improve the versions, but should see that the customers should not suffer. As on date no answer to this problem. Only microsoft people to do something. Till then no other way than waiting

As the others have said, I have used it in the past few months, but it is now gone.

Would like to know if it's gone because of a bug or was it planned? If planned, where could I find the feature?

It’s gone at my end as well, tried to use Copilot but it was a fail. We need this feature back please

An attorney here voiced the same concern.  Looks like we've lost this feature as well.  It was a "preview" feature.  Likely pulled it and will add it to E3 or E5 or try to put it behind the copilot paywall...  

What frustrates me is our users shouldn't see "preview" features...  Now I have an attorney who is frustrated becasue he drafted a lengthy word doc to import to powerpoint and he wasted his time and has to manually copy the info to a powerpoint.  

Not a good look for us.
