Microsoft Word online error 'we are having difficulty creating your presentation
See if you can start PowerPoint and import the Word document into that application instead.

In PowerPoint for Windows, use File > Open > Browse to display the Open dialog box. Choose "All Outlines" in the file type box and browse for and open your Word document.

I'm also facing the same issue. Microsoft is unable to create the power point for me. I tried to restart power point but of no use.

Did you try simply starting PowerPoint and importing?
Note, unless you have very unusual content, your are not likely to be happy with what this process produces. It can give you a starting point but much that is in a regular Word document will not show up in PowerPoint. If your Word document is an Outline, then you are more likely to be happy with the result.
The desktop versions of Word currently do not have the Export to PowerPoint option, only the (otherwise inferior) Online program has this feature.
