Overview
Most people use Excel, Word and PowerPoint separately and paste data between them. This 60-minute Microsoft Office integration training shows how to combine their automated features to create smart reports and dynamic presentations.
You'll learn the details of copy and paste, and when to link or embed data so it updates automatically. The session covers inserting and managing an Excel spreadsheet inside Word, and linking Excel data and charts to PowerPoint.
You'll also see how to send a Word outline to PowerPoint to create a presentation, use Word for speaker notes, create an online PowerPoint presentation with Word, and pick up time-saving tips along the way.
Why attend: Each Office program has its own features for sharing data automatically, and knowing which to use saves time and keeps reports accurate. This webinar shows when and how to use each type of integration. It suits administrative assistants, managers, directors, sales and marketing staff, teachers and students, medical and legal professionals, and anyone who builds reports and presentations in Microsoft Office.
