And I'm afraid you can only paste text one slide at time. Well, it's faster then typing, if the name is long enough.
This seems like you need to go programming: http://www.google.com/search?q=powerpoint+vba&meta= might be helpful.
But if you've never done so, it might take more time to learn then you have available.

Would like to know if it possible to copy from Word to Power Point. I have a long list of names that I would like to copy from Word to Power Point. **When pasting into Power Point I would like for each name to be a new slide.** I have over five hundred names that I have to enter plus 1000 more over the next few days.
