How To Copy Excel Files To PowerPoint

QUESTION: Do you have an easy, user-friendly approach to move Excel files to Powerpoint without losing columns and rows?

Is there something I am doing wrong? I just don't seem to be able to do this properly.

HELP!!!

Thanks,

Nancy

ANSWER: Dear Nancy,

thank you for your question.

The easiest approach I can suggest you, to be sure that your Excel file
will remain the same after having imported it into a PowerPoint slide is
to:

  1. Select the whole Excel file
  2. Click on Copy, from the Edit Menu, while you are still in Excel
  3. Go to the PowerPoint slide
  4. Click on the Edit menu
  5. Select "Paste Special"
    Edit_Paste_Special.gif
  6. Choose Picture (Enhanced Metafile) and click ok
    Enhanced_Metafile1.gif

This way you should have your Excel file correctly inserted into a slide
with no data missing.

Please let me know if this does help you.

All my best,

Chiara Monetti
