Put your presentation in Slide Sorter View and then just copy and paste in
Word.

You have to copy and paste each slide separately.

Note that if you can manage with the text only, try copying from
PowerPoint's Outline pane.

I'm not using the latest version of PowerPoint, so it is possible that
the views look differently by default in your version. But there
should still be some way to display a PowerPoint file as an outline.
(To find out how, consult PowerPoint Help or ask in a PowerPoint
newsgroup.) Copy the entire presentation from Outline view and paste
into Word.

Dear Stefan,
You can actually copy the entire work, only their headings?

All the typed text should be included, but no pictures or slide
backgrounds. Again, if you need pictures, copying each slide
separately is required.

After you've pasted the text, you probably have to reformat it in
Word, to make it look good. Especially note that text which is white
in PowerPoint might be invisible in Word, since the background is
white, too.

In Word, you can change the color of the selection via Format>Font,
font tab.

You might want to post your question in the PPT NG. I am not familiar with
PPT, but I had gotten the impression there was an option to export the
presentation to Word.

Just noticed File>Send To>Microsoft Office Word you can then select how you
want it to look and it creates the new doc for you.

I think you have provided the best solution (which I completely
overlooked).

It is certainly true that you learn something every day. I didn't
expect to learn about PowerPoint in a Word newsgroup, though :-)
