Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 Fast & Easy (Fast & Easy (Premier Press))

Overview

One of the nice parts about Microsoft Office is how seamless it is to transfer content between its various applications. For example, it's easy to use an Excel chart in PowerPoint, a PowerPoint outline in Word, or any other combination. There are several ways of getting content from place to place, depending on how you want it to behave. It can stand alone in its destination location, or it can retain a link either to its original data file (linking) or to the application that created it (embedding). In this chapter, you'll learn how to:

• Copy items using the Office Clipboard

• Use Smart Tags to specify how items are copied

• Drag and drop items between Office applications

• Link and embed items
