Inserting a PowerPoint Slide Show into a Document, Worksheet, or Publication

An ingenious way to create a file that contains a great deal more information than it appears to is to insert one or more PowerPoint presentations into a Word document, an Excel worksheet, or a Publisher publication. With the presentation’s only visible sign of existence being an icon, it’s hardly noticeable on the page, but double-click the icon, and, presto, there’s a slide show! The person viewing the slide show, however, must have PowerPoint 2007 installed on his or her computer to be able to view the show.

Insert the Presentation

  1. In your saved document, worksheet, or publication, click where you want to insert the PowerPoint presentation.

  2. On the Insert tab, click the Object button to display the Object dialog box. In Publisher, choose Object from the Insert menu.

  3. In Word or Excel, click the Create From File tab in the Object dialog box. In Publisher, click the Create From File option. Click Browse, and use the Browse dialog box to locate the PowerPoint presentation. Double-click the presentation.

  4. Select the Display As Icon check box to display an icon for the presentation instead of displaying the entire presentation.

  5. Click Change Icon if you want to use a different icon, and, in the Change Icon dialog box, select the icon you want. Change the caption that will appear below the icon, and click OK.

  6. Click OK.

    Insert the Presentation

Tip

Tip

Save your PowerPoint presentation as a PowerPoint Show instead of as a PowerPoint Presentation so that it will run automatically when you double-click the icon.
