RE: power point crashing

Hi Sanjay,

Thank you for your question.

Select the chart in Excel and copy it and paste it into a slide in your PowerPoint presentation.

Alternatively open the excel file and make sure the sheet with the chart is showing. Now save and close the excel file.

In PowerPoint go to the slide and choose Insert and then Object.
Use the Create from file option and browse for the excel file and select it. Then click OK twice and the chart will appear.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

PowerPoint tip:

Use Format Painter to copy formatting to multiple pieces of text

The format painter tool provides a quick and easy way to copy formatting from one piece of text to another in PowerPoint.

The only problem is that if you click the Format Painter once to turn it on, you can only click and drag over a single piece of text; then the Format Painter turns itself off automatically.

If you want to copy formatting to more than one piece of text, double-click the Format Painter - this way you will be able to copy formatting to multiple pieces of text.

When you have finished using Format Painter, press the Esc key or click on the Format Painter button once to turn it off.
