Excel & Publisher

[Jeanette]

Does anyone know if it's possible or even worthwhile to use Publisher when
presenting a 60-page Excel doc presentation?

 

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

Yes, it's possible. And without seeing what you have in mind, we have no
idea if it's worthwhile.

Jeanette,

There is the advantage that you can format cells far better and easer with
Publisher than with Excel. You also have access to all the other page layout
features with Publisher that Excel doesn't have. If you are printing to a
PDF or PostScript printer for commercial print Publisher is far more
reliable than Excel.

My document has already been created in Excel. It's about 60 pages in five
tabs. Income Statement presented monthly over six years 2005 thru 2010;
Balance Sheet same time period; Cash Flow Statement same time period;
Construction Schedule, same time period. The Excel docs are nicely formatted
as you would see in a financial presentation, but my partner is adamant on
having it in presented in Publisher. I have been trying for three days to
convert/import/export the Excel sheets into Publisher to no avail. It looses
pages, it looses formatting. I have never in my professional life presented
a financial report in Publisher, and I have never seen anyone in the
financial industry use Publisher to present their financial reports, but my
senior partner wants it done in Publisher. I don't know how to do it. Does
anyone know how? Jeanette

JoAnn,

If I send you a copy of my Excel file, would you advise as to how it's done
w/out losing may formatting and data? Thanks.
