Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video How themes impact presentation data, part of Data-Driven Presentations with Excel and PowerPoint.
In addition to determining whether I'd like to…link or embed a file, I also need to…decide whether I want to retain the formatting…that I have in the source, here in Excel.…Or I'd like to use the formatting that I have in PowerPoint.…And this used to be a major issue, because when I…would take data from Excel to PowerPoint, I needed to make sure.…That the colors match, that the fonts match.…There was nothing automatic behind the scenes.…Today it's exactly the opposite.…
When I copy information from one program to another in Office, as I'm pasting, it's…like that second application stops and frisks…that incoming data and says, whoa, whoa, whoa.…You have a particular theme, but we do something different here.…Let me buff you up before I paste you. So let's see how that works.…If you'd like to do this as…well, you can open a PowerPoint session and…then open the 2013 YTD report by region workbook.…It's a single sheet workbook that's sitting in…the chapter one folder in the Exercises folders.…
So, I'm going to start by selecting something that I'd like to copy.…
