Looks like you might soon be able to convert your docs into presentations. I just found this function in the source code...
var isPresentation =!!0; function SaveCopyAsPresentation() { var docId = GetActionDocsString(actionDocID); SaveDocContentsWithNotify(function() { CopyDocument(docId, true, 'doc2presentation'); }); }
[Link removed as requested – Tony] |
I think "Save Copy As Presentation" was available when Presentations launched but it looks like it might have been removed with the latest menu update.
(BTW, your link leads to a private document.) |
I can't find a screenshot or reference to that menu item but it was definitely there before they changed the menu.

Tony: "Save Copy As Presentation" was added om Oct 22, 2007
here in German: http://www.googlewatchblog.de/2007/10/22/google-docs-vom-text-zur-praesentation/ |
Thanks Tony. Why did they get rid of it then? Did anyone here ever use that feature? I never did.
(Oops! Would you mind getting rid of that link please Tony?) |
You mean "Save Copy As Presentation"?
I did, but it was in Oct 2007. I do not remember much... |
The feature wasn't very useful simply because Google converted every document page into a slide. Most documents created using Google Docs have a single page (there's no page break), so the presentations only included the beginning of the documents. |
