Using FLEx interlinear text in Presentations

[Aaron Broadwell]

Does anyone have a relatively successful to use interlinear text from FLEx in a presentation (e.g. Powerpoint or some alternative)?  

My experience in trying to get aligned text to show up properly in Powerpoint is fairly frustrating.  Cutting and pasting directly from FLEx or from most of the output formats I have tried leads to a mess in PPT.

I am now mostly pasting screenshots, but that doesn't allow me to edit the text.

Any alternate solutions or suggestions?

My suggestion would be to try importing a text into XLingPaper and then exporting to HTML. You can open the HTML file in Word and copy and paste to power point. I'm thinking this should work as long as your line of text isn't too long. Longer lines tend to wrap in the wrong places.

Hi all,

I use the "print view" tab in a text and copy and past from there.  

I've never tried it in a Power Point, though.  But I've used it to paste into Word Docs.

I have used export to XML.  Open in word.  Copy and Paste into the PPT.
