Summary:

To embed a worksheet from Microsoft Excel 3.00 into PowerPoint for Windows, do the following:

  Start PowerPoint for Windows.   From the File menu, choose Insert and select Excel Worksheet. This will start Excel with a blank worksheet window. The data that will eventually appear in this window is what will be placed on your slide in PowerPoint.   Add data to the Excel worksheet. This can be done by using one of the following methods:  Open an existing Excel worksheet or any other type of file that can be opened by Microsoft Excel, and select the range of cells containing the appropriate data. Copy the range of cells into the Clipboard, and then paste them into the empty worksheet.

-or-  Edit the empty sheet as you would any other Excel worksheet.   When the worksheet is completed, choose the Update command from the File menu in Excel. This will embed the Excel worksheet into the current slide of the active PowerPoint presentation. The Update command replaces the Exit command when Excel is being utilized as an embedded application. </li></ol>

More Information:

To switch between open document windows in Excel for Windows, you can choose the title of the window from the Window menu. The window that contains the sheet to be embedded into PowerPoint for Windows will have the title PowerPoint, where is a hexadecimal number that indicates how many times that embedding has been invoked from PowerPoint for Windows, for example: 1PowerPoint.
