Good evening jamezay-ga and thank you for allowing me to help you with
this question. Being that I have made hundreds of PowerPoint
presentations myself, I am pretty confident that the you will find the
following information helpful and easy.
Embedding a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation is rather
easy. Just follow these 6 simple steps and you should be well on your
way to creating your PowerPoint presentation.
1. To create an embedded object from an existing (Word) file, display
the slide where you want to insert the embedded object.
2. On the Insert menu, click Object.
3. Click Create from file.
4. In the File box, type the name of the file you want to create an
embedded object from, or click Browse to select the file from a list.
5. To create a linked object, select the Link check box. An embedded
object is created if you don't select the Link check box.
6. To display the embedded object as an icon, select the Display as
icon check box.
Once embedded, the object becomes part of the destination file. When
you double-click an embedded object, it opens in the program (source
program) it was created in. Any changes you make to the embedded
object are reflected in the destination file.
Just a tip:
You should use embedded files when:
· Your files are 100 KB or less. This is the recommended maximum size.
You may embed files that are up to 50 MB, but it may slow down the
performance of the presentation.
· You want all the pieces of your presentation contained within that presentation.
· You don't plan to make any changes to the source files.
You should use linked files when:
· You plan to use the same computer to create and display your presentation.
· Your files are large.
· You plan on making changes to the source files.
I hope you found this information useful. If anything requires
further clarifications, please do not hesitate to ask!
