Convert PPT to SHW

Understanding PPT and SHW file formats

PPT is the file extension for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, widely used for creating slideshows with multimedia, text, and animations. SHW files are associated with Corel Presentations, a part of the Corel WordPerfect Office suite, and serve a similar purpose as PPT files but are native to Corel's software.

Why convert PPT to SHW?

Converting a PPT file to SHW format is necessary when you need to edit or present a PowerPoint presentation using Corel Presentations. This ensures compatibility and preserves formatting within the Corel environment.

How to convert PPT to SHW

There is no direct online converter for PPT to SHW due to the proprietary nature of the SHW format. The most reliable method is to use Corel Presentations itself, which supports importing PPT files and saving them as SHW.

Step-by-step conversion using Corel Presentations

1. Open Corel Presentations.
2. Go to File → Open and select your PPT file.
3. Once the presentation is loaded, review the slides for any formatting issues.
4. To save as SHW, go to File → Save As.
5. In the Save as type dropdown, select Corel Presentations Show (*.shw).
6. Click Save.

Best software for PPT to SHW conversion

Tips for a successful conversion

• Check for any unsupported animations or transitions, as some PowerPoint features may not transfer perfectly.
• After conversion, review your SHW file in Corel Presentations to ensure all content appears as expected.
• Keep a backup of your original PPT file in case you need to revert or try a different conversion method.
