Insert a word document into Powerpoint

How can I insert a word document into Powerpoint, please.

I have made a table and saved it in Word but it's got 20 rows and that's too big for the slide. I have now made the font tiny etc. and it finally fits but is this the only way I can do this. No quick way?

RE: Insert a word document into Powerpoint

Hi Vivienne, Thank you for your post, in answer to your question; This could be approached in a couple of ways,

First as you have done copy the table and then paste it into PowerPoint, (everything has to be shrunk to fit --- nasty)

Secondly; and this is the method I would use, create a hyperlink on the slide, and point the hyperlink to the Word Table, then when you click on the hyperlink it will open Word and display the latest version of the Table.

To create a hyperlink follow these steps:

1. Type some text (relevant)
2. Select the text and click the Hyperlink Button on the standard toolbar (CTRL+H)
3. From the dialog box Choose Existing File or Web Page, From the Lookin Area navigate to your chosen Word Document, Select it and click OK.
When you click your Hyperlink (in Slide Show View) it will open your Word Table and display the information as a part of your presentation, simply closing the Word Document will return you to your presentation.

I hope that has helped. regards Pete
