Output to PowerPoint

[Amy]

Is it possible to output an Access report to a PowerPoint
slide? Anyone have any tips for doing this?

I have my Access database tied to a ColdFusion website,
so if there's any way to output to a PowerPoint slide
from there too I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Amy

Hi Amy,

I don't know of a neat way of doing this. Here are some of the things I
might do depending on just what was needed:

-Output to Word, edit the Word document, and paste it into Powerpoint as
an OLE object.

-Output to Word, then copy and paste into Powerpoint as formatted text.

-Output to Excel and copy and paste (often it works well to use Paste
Special and paste as "Picture".

-Dump the report and use the underlying query. Then write VBA code that
takes the output of the query and mainipulates Powerpoint to lay out the
data on the slide(s).

-Just possibly, create a web page the way you want it, then save that as
HTML and import that into a recent version of Powerpoint (I've never
tried it).
