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:

Slide numbers in PowerPoint

Slide numbers can be applied in PowerPoint by going to View-Header and footer, then ticking the slide number box.

You can also choose the Don't show on title slide option so that slide numbers do not show on any title layout slides in the presentation.

If this option is ticked and the first slide is a title layout slide, this will mean slide 2 will be numbered as 2 rather than 1.

To change this and start slide numbering at 1 on the second slide, go to File - Page Setup and change the Number slide from: option to 0. Click OK.
