Mac OS
STEP 1: In PowerPoint, choose Save As and select PDF. Save the PDF somewhere you can find it.
STEP 2: In Word, choose the Insert tab and choose Object > Object… > From File and find your PDF to insert it.
STEP 3: Crop or scale as needed.
Pro Tip: Make your slide the same width as the size it will be in Microsoft Word (or other app). For example, if you have an 8.5 inch Word page with 1 inch margins, size your slide to be 6.5 inches wide by whatever height (9 inches is almost always safe). To scale your slide in PowerPoint, go to the Design tab and selected Slide Size > Custom Slide Size. (To ensure the font size is the same from PowerPoint to Word, do not scale the image. If the dimensions stay the same, so does the font size.)
