RE: Adding document

Hi Chris

How are you thanks for the post

There are 2 ways of achieving this

1. Open the excel file copy the area you want in Powerpoint
then go to the place or slide you want the excel stuff, then go to the edit menu in Powerpoint - click paste special and window will appear click paste link - and excel object and click OK

2. do a normal copy and paste from excel to PPT

NB: the first will link the files together so if you change the excel file the PPT will also change the second way of doing this will not change unless you go through PPT

If you want the best way i would choose the first way

Hope this helps
