Importing documents

How do I import a document from Excel?

RE: Importing documents

Hi Nicola

Thank you for your question.

You can import an Excel spreadsheet by going to Insert - Object and selecting Create from File.

Then you can navigate to and select the Excel file you want to import data from, and click OK.

You need to make sure that if the Excel file contains more than one sheet of data, that the top sheet in the file is the one you want to import data from.

PowerPoint tip:

Reduce PowerPoint file sizes

In PowerPoint, images often take up a lot of space which can lead to difficulties when it comes to emailing files. Luckily PowerPoint does contain some tools to help deal with this issue.

1. Disable the Fast Save feature - so that any changes you make will be immediately reflected in the file size. Go to Tools > Options > Save and deselect 'Allow fast saves'.

2. PowerPoint has an inbuilt compression tool, which is located on the Picture Toolbar.

If the Picture toolbar is not visible on your screen, go to View > Toolbars > Picture.

To compress or reduce the size of a picture, select the picture then click the Compress Pictures button on the Picture Toolbar. You can also right-click on a picture to access the option to compress it.
