Neo Office help please....desperation setting in...

Little_Chicken

Hi all.

I'm trying to import a table from noeoffice word into neooffice powerpoint, but it's not working.

It won't 'insert file' and if I copy and paste (have tried all paste options) it only lets the first 2 and a half rows appear.

I'm getting desperate as it's for work tomorrow.:eek:

Thanks:beer::beer::beer:

I'm clutching at straws here, as I've never used NeoOffice, but I'm wondering whether the intructions for MS Office might be similar. Here they are; hope they may help:

Using Word Tables in PowerPoint

When you copy data from Excel into Word or PowerPoint, linking the data enables you to always have the most up-to-date data without extra work. But, when you need to copy a Word table into PowerPoint, embed the Word table in PowerPoint to simply and effectively display the data in your presentation while still taking advantage of the powerful formatting tools in Word. Embedding the table enables you to edit the table in Word, without being connected to the original file.
•The task: Add a table from your Word document to a PowerPoint slide.
•The challenge: You need the flexibility of Word table formatting but also need the table to coordinate with your PowerPoint presentation. Your PowerPoint presentation might also use a dark background, in which case the black default text in the Word table will not be visible on the slide.
•The solution: Paste the Word table in PowerPoint as an Embedded Word Document Object. Then, use the Recolor Picture tool to easily coordinate the table with your slide design.
How to get it done:
•In Word, select and copy the table. Be sure to select the entire table or your results in PowerPoint might not match the steps that follow. To ensure that the entire table is selected, on the Table menu click Select and then click Table.
Note If you have downloaded the Excel sample data and followed the steps in the preceding sections of this article, you can use the Word table you created for this exercise. However, be sure that you have broken the link on that table before copying it for this exercise.
•In PowerPoint, apply an appropriate slide layout to the slide where you want to paste the table, such as the Title Only layout shown here.


•On the Edit menu click Paste Special. Then, select Microsoft Office Word Document Object from the list provided and click OK.
Note If Microsoft Office Word Document Object is not an available option, you either did not select the entire Word table before copying it, or your insertion point in PowerPoint might be in an active text box. Copy the table again, confirm that nothing is selected on the PowerPoint slide, and then access the Paste Special dialog box again.

If its just the table you want to paste then you have to "select and copy" the whole table including "non-printing characters" (search for how to show them in neo-office help )
then just standard paste into new document

Damn it - still not working - it's as if there's something in ppt that is constraining how much i can paste over. Thanks anyway....

Funny how if you go back to something you find the answer.

When i imported the table and only 3 rows appeared I did the following:
Right click, select edit.

It then went to a separate screen where I could see my object was being restricted. I pulled out the frame and hey presto it all appeared.

Ta for your help tho.
