Export to PPT is missing on WORD online??
I checked this from both my personal and enterprise accounts, and the option seems to be missing. Do I need to enable it or something?
I worked fine a couple of months ago.

For me, this was there one day and gone the next. I still see this mentioned multiple times all over the web as a way of converting Word docs to Powerpoint files, however the fact is that no matter what you do, for now it is gone.
As has been said it may come back but as of today the Export Word to Powerpoint file is simply not there. Personally I found it very useful so it is a disappointment that it has been removed. - zahidwonderdiCopper Contributor
The "Export to PPT or https://pdfwordcounter.io/" option in Word Online might have been temporarily removed or disabled due to updates or account-specific restrictions. Ensure your account is using the latest version and check if the feature is available under a different menu. If it’s still missing, try accessing it from the desktop version of Word or reach out to Microsoft support for clarification on its current availability.

See also this from Stefan Blom in this thread:
In Windows, you can reverse the procedure: Start the desktop version of PowerPoint and then import a Word document via the Open dialog box (File > Open > Browse). Set the file format to "All Outlines" and find the Word document you want to import.
Yes, please contact Microsoft Support or feedback
I see that too: the option is (currently) missing in Word for the web.
You can send feedback to Microsoft using the Help > Feedback facility.

Yes. It is currently missing.
Microsoft seems to be experimenting/fiddling. It has appeared and disappeared a number of times over the years, including to the desktop application.
The thing is, although it was useful to you, apparently, it may have been misnamed or given others too high an expectation for what it would accomplish. I would expect that it will re-appear at some point.
Going to Outline View in Word and then copying and pasting may get you what you want, even though not as simple.
Note that I am a fellow user, not someone speaking for Microsoft.
