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:

Another way to reduce PowerPoint file sizes

A very quick and easy way to reduce the size of a PowerPoint file (particularly if it contains many images and/or objects) make the first slide in the presentation a blank slide (using slide layouts).

Why does this work? Because when you go to open the file through PowerPoint (File - Open or by using the Open button), the preview image that PowerPoint sees of that file is of a blank slide so the overall file size is reduced.
