Fully use Excel in a PowerPoint Show.

[Greg Chapman]

I want to be able to fully interact with MS Excel (I.e. scroll up and down a
list) while powerpoint is in presentation mode (View Show). Is this
possible?

 

[Judy Freed]

It is possible to open Excel from withing Powerpoint if that is what you
want to do.

No I need the excel file to be embedded and already showing inside of the
presentation. Opening Excel outside of PP in not an option.

Greg,
Follow these steps to add a fully functional worksheet that can be
manipulated on screen during a slide show.

1. View Toolbars + Control Toolbox
2. Click the last icon (More Controls)
3. Scroll down to Microsoft Office Spreadsheet (some number for the
version) and select that
4. Back in PPT, draw a rectangle for the size of the spreadsheet you
want.

That spreadsheet will be fully functional during a slide show.
