You can insert documents created in other Microsoft Office programs or in any other program that supports linked and embedded objects into your presentations. It is not necessary to recreate existing information that you wish to include in your PowerPoint presentation. In this lesson, we are going to insert an existing Excel chart into our presentation.
When inserting an object, you can choose to either Link or Embed the data. When an object is linked, the data is stored in the source document. This means that when the data is updated in the original document, it will automatically be updated in your presentation. Linking enables you to keep your information up-to-date while keeping the file size of your presentation to a minimum. When Embedding objects in your presentation, you create a copy of the object which resides in your destination document. Thus, any changes made to the original document will not be reflected in your presentation.
To Insert an Existing Excel Chart:
- Activate the slide into which you wish to insert the file.
- Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon.
- Click the Object button on the Text group of the Ribbon.
- To create a new Excel chart, click the Create New radio button, choose Microsoft Office Excel Chart from the Object type list and then click OK.
- To insert an existing Excel chart, click the Create from file radio button.
- Click OK.
- Click the Browse button to navigate to the location of the file you wish to insert.
- Click OK.
