I have a simple "calculator" that I created in Excel, and
I want to know if it is possible to insert
that "calculator" or spreadsheet into a Powerpoint
presentation and be able to use it within Powerpoint. I
have tried the simple....insert object then insert my
excel file, but it embeds it as only a static
spreadsheet, you cannot enter numbers into it an have it
work like in excel.... What can I do to get it to insert
and work at the same time?? Please help, it will be
greatly appreciated.

What type of calculating are you doing? Why don't you just put a button on
your slide that opens up the Windows calculator?
 
Actually it is a simple "calculator" I created in excel.
It calculates "Unit Cost of Packaging".. It just has a
few cells to enter the numbers and it will calculate the
cost of packaging for our clients.. It is a slick and
easy tool our salesmen use currently, and I wanted to add
that right into a powerpoint presentation I am assembling
for them, and to have it work as well....
 
sorry I forgot to add all my info again...this reply from
anonymous, is still from the original "poster"
 
Instead of Inserting it as an Object just try a simple
Copy/Paste Special "Microsoft Excel Worksheet Object" and
you will be able to open it (by right clicking) and
editing it
 
Paul,
You haven't mentioned which version of Office you have. If you have one of
later versions, you can make use of the Office Web components control.
Essentially the Spreadsheet component which will allow you create a 'Live
Calculator' on the slide.

Please post the version and I'll provide the instruction to create it.
