Copying Excel table

When I copy an excel table into a presentation, it does not format properly, and I cannot change it afterwards. Is there a way to do this?

RE: Copying Excel table

Hi Laetitia

Thank you for your question.

In PowerPoint, if you go through Insert - Object - Create from file, select the Excel file containing the data you wish to import, then click OK.

When you double-click on the imported Excel table, you should then be able to edit/format it.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

PowerPoint tip:

Use Paint Brush to do Multiple Formating in Powerpoint

To copy a format from one piece of text or from a Text box in Powerpoint to multiple words or Text boxes

1. Select the word/text box with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush icon on the Toolbar

When you move to the word/text box where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the words and text boxes you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the Toolbar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
