need powerpoint help, pleasssssssssseeeeeeee

Well, am preparing my first powerpoint presentation, and can't work out how to copy and paste/transfer a table from a Word Document into it....I have tried the copy/paste things...but it takes out all the colums and rows and just leaves the data in the table, but it re-configures the layout, so, all the numbers etc...are below eachother....

had no problems doing this with another table, albeit smaller...could it be a format-thing?

actually I worked it out....i.e. that you can just make the size table and than put your data copy/paste style in wohoo..

OR you can do a 'paste special' and copy it in as a picture or bitmap

If you do want to paste the completed table in try copying it & then instead of 'Paste' in Powerpoint, choose 'Paste Special'. You will then be asked how you want to paste the table.
There are various options - you can paste it as a picture, which you can then resize like any other image, but you can't change the content, or you can paste it as a Microsoft Office Word Document Object, which you can click on & edit as if it was still in Word.

(This is in Office 2007 btw, not sure if 2003 has a similar function, but you can definitely do the Paste as Picture thing in 2003)

thank you, you 2...luckily I was able to just transfer the data, but used the Powerpoint 2007 version, whihc is more colourful then the original tables I created in word....but hopefully that will only help to make it look better
