MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / March 2004copying Word table to PowerPoint
Hi, everyone... We're using Word 2000 & Word XP on Windows 2000. We have several Word tables that are greater than one page long. We need to copy these tables into a PowerPoint file. When we do this, the tables copy into the PPT file as very small objects. We've tried: PPT: Insert > Object > Microsoft Word file Word: Table > Select > Table and then PPT: Edit > Paste Special But neither of these yielded a reasonable-looking PPT file. We don't necessarily have to edit the table once it's in the PPT file. We just want a close and legible representation of it. Is there any way to copy these tables into PPT from Word in a smart way (that retains formatting and readability)? > We have several Word tables that are greater than one page long. > We need to copy these tables into a PowerPoint file. When we do > this, the tables copy into the PPT file as very small objects. PPT is shrinking the tables to fit on one slide. I think there's a toggle to change that behavior, but that won't really help you, because you'd have part of the table slipping off the bottom of the slide. I think the way to go is to break the tables in Word and then paste each portion into one slide. >-----Original Message----- >Hi, everyone...

The only workaround I found was break the table into sections the placing each section on a slide. This is a nuisance since headings etc need to be incorporated into each of the pieces, but since it's only done once.... I don't know how you're planning to use the PP presentation, but remember if you paste as an icon the icon can be clicked & the table displayed inside of word. Must have word though. |
