MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006How do I attach a word document into a powerpoint slide
I would like to know if it is possible to attach a work document on a powerpoint slide that way if anyone wants to see it , they can click and open it. It is not like the embedded word doc table that is on the help. I want to attach the actual file. Thanks Just insert a hypelink to another document. Before you insert the hyperlink, you should put the Word doc in the same folder as the PPT. Then you have to move the files together whenever they are moved because the Word doc does not become part of the PPT, just a file linked from it. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Thanks Thanks David I did try the hyperlink method, however, this ppt will be distributed widely and I am sure the link will be broken when transferred. Ideally if the word doc is attached to the PPT slide itself, Im sure we wont lose it. Do you know of any way to do this? UGanesh > Just insert a hypelink to another document.

Thanks Unfortunately, Word docs have to be linked. Only pictures and certain WAV sound files can be embedded. Everything else is linked. --David SignatureDavid M.

Thanks mmm... I think that you'll find that document objects inserted as I said are in fact embedded. _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist > Unfortunately, Word docs have to be linked.

Embedded objects are, indeed, embedded, but they don't have the same functionality as Word document. It is mostly, with a few difference, like putting a picture the Word document onto the slide, not quite the same as linking to a fully functioning Word document. --David SignatureDavid M.

Thanks I'm not trying to be awkward here David but you can edit the embedded document , save a copy as a word doc - not sure what else you would need ? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist > Yes, you are right.

I generally think in terms of Slide Show View, so my answers are generally biased from that perspective. In Slide Show View, the embedded object is basically a picture of the top of the Word file, which is of limited use (and takes up a lot more file space than a simple screen shot). However, if the original poster is thinking in terms of Normal View, then embedding, as you pointed out, is great. It basically attaches the file and lets you edit it. --David SignatureDavid M.
