Inserting an Object

When I try to insert an object (excel spreadsheet), I
only get the first 8 or 9 columns of the spreadsheet.
I've always worked around this by narrowing my columns
and reducing the size of the spreadsheet. Does anyone
know how I can get all of my columns to appear in
PowerPoint when I insert the Excel worksheet? Thanks.
 
Hi John,

In this situation, I often use the [copy]/[paste special]
functions. I'll try to be descriptive as possible.

I copy the cells that I want to put into the PowerPoint
presentation and then in the PowerPoint presentation I
click on the [Edit] menu and then select [Paste Special].

Within [Paste Special] you can choose from the following
ways to paste the cells into the PowerPoint presentation:
- Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object
- HTML format
- Picture (Windows Metafile)
- Picture (Enhanced Metafile)
- Device Independent Bitmap
- Bitmap
- Formatted Text
- Unformatted Text

I usually choose "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet
Object." That way, if you want to manipulate the data in
your Excel cells that you pasted, you simply double-click
on the cells and it automatically puts you into a Excel
environment. Please note that it doesn't make changes to
the original Excel worksheet however. Also, by pasting
it in as a "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet Object"
you're able to change the size easier and get all your
columns onto the slide.

Hope this helps!
Anne
