Video insert excel data in powerpoint

Try it!

In PowerPoint, you can embed tables and worksheets from Excel in your presentation slides.

1. In Excel, click and drag to highlight the cells you want to copy.

2. Right-click the copied cells and select Copy.

3. In your PowerPoint presentation, right-click and select the Paste Options you want:

   • Use Destination Styles – Choose to edit your copied cells like a PowerPoint table, but with PowerPoint's color scheme and fonts.

   • Keep Source Formatting – Choose to keep your table editable in PowerPoint while maintaining the same source formatting from Excel.

   • Embed – Choose to keep a copy of your table in PowerPoint in case you want to edit the data, which will open in Excel.

     Note: If you're working with a large Excel file, it'll inflate your PowerPoint presentation to a big size. You may also unintentionally be giving more access to your Excel file than you intend to.

   • Picture – Choose to paste your table as a picture to get the same benefits as embedding except you can format your cells like a picture and add effects to it. You won't be able to edit data once it's been pasted though.

   • Keep Text Only – Choose to paste your table as straight text and to do all formatting in PowerPoint.

4. If you pasted as a picture, on the Picture Tools Format tab, select the quick picture style you want to use. Adjust the table to your liking.

Create a uml activity diagram

A UML activity diagram in Visio looks like a flow chart. The flow of control is triggered by the completion of actions (or activities) within the system. The flow may be sequential, concurrent, or branched, indicated by shapes such as swimlanes, forks, and joins.

Use an activity diagram to describe how several activities are coordinated to provide a service or other end result. Activity diagrams can show how the events in a use case relate to one another, or how a collection of use cases coordinate to represent a business workflow.

If you want to represent a flow in response to external events instead, use a state machine diagram.

Start an activity diagram

1. Start Visio. Or if you have a file open already, click File > New.

2. In the Search box, type UML activity.

3. Select the UML Activity diagram.

4. In the dialog box, select either Metric Units or US Units.

5. Select Create.

6. The diagram opens. You should see the Shapes window next to the diagram. If you don't see it, go to View > Task Panes and make sure that Shapes is selected. If you still don't see it, click the Expand the Shapes window button on the left.

7. On the View tab, make sure the check box next to Connection Points is selected. This option makes connection points appear when you start connecting shapes.

8. You can now insert swimlanes and build the activity control flow in the diagram.

Design your diagram

• If you want to indicate responsibility in the activity diagram, drag a Swimlane shape onto the page for each class, person, or organizational unit you want to represent. To do that:

  1. Drag a Swimlane shape onto the drawing page.

     

  2. Double-click each label on the shape to change the default name.

  3. Repeat steps a and b until you've added all the partitions or organizational units you need.

  4. Drag the side selection handles on the swimlane shapes to make the lanes the size you want.

• Use the Initial node and Final node shapes to represent initial and final pseudo states.

   

• Add an Action shape for each action or activity state you want to represent.

  

• Use a Decision shape with guard conditions to indicate a possible transition from an action state.

  

• Use the Fork node to represent the forking of one action state into multiple parallel states.

  

• Use the Join node to represent the synchronization of multiple action states into one state.

  

Start an activity diagram

1. Open Visio for the web and search for UML Activity or scroll down in the Gallery to the UML Activity row.

2. Start with a blank UML activity template or a UML activity starter diagram. Select Create on the one you want to use.

   You can now insert swimlanes and build the activity control in the diagram.

Design your diagram

• If you want to indicate responsibility in the activity diagram, drag a Swimlane shape onto the page for each class, person, or organizational unit you want to represent. To do that:

  1. Drag a Swimlane shape onto the drawing page.

     

  2. Double-click each label on the shape to change the default name.

  3. Repeat steps a and b until you've added all the partitions or organizational units you need.

  4. Drag the side selection handles on the swimlane shapes to make the lanes the size you want.

• Use the Initial node and Final node shapes to represent initial and final pseudo states.

   

• Add an Action shape for each action or activity state you want to represent.

  

• Use a Decision shape with guard conditions to indicate a possible transition from an action state.

  

• Use the Fork node to represent the forking of one action state into multiple parallel states.

  

• Use the Join node to represent the synchronization of multiple action states into one state.

  

Start an activity diagram

1. Open the UML model diagram that contains the UML element for which you want to create an activity diagram.

2. In the tree view, right-click the icon for the package, subsystem, class, operation, or use case in which you want to create an activity diagram. Point to New, and then click Activity Diagram.

   A blank page appears, and the UML Activity stencil becomes the top-most stencil. The workspace displays 'Activity' as a watermark. An icon representing the diagram is added to the tree view.

   Note: If the tree view is not visible, on the UML menu, point to View, and then click Model Explorer.

Design your diagram

1. If you want to indicate responsibility in the activity diagram, drag a Swimlane shape onto the page for each class, person, or organizational unit you want to represent.

   1. From the Activity stencil, drag a Swimlane shape onto the drawing page.

   2. Double-click the shape to add a name and other property values.

   3. Repeat steps a and b until you've added all the partitions or organizational units you need.

   4. Drag the side selection handles on the Swimlane shapes to make the lanes the size you want.

   5. Drag State, Action State, Object In State and Signal Receipt or Signal Send shapes into the areas defined by the swimlanes and connect them using Control Flow and Object Flow shapes.

2. Drag an Action State or State shape onto the drawing page for each action or activity state you want to represent. Use the Initial State and Final State shapes to represent initial and final pseudo states. Work with state shapes in UML statechart and activity diagrams

3. Connect Control Flow shapes to State shapes to indicate the change from one state to another.

   1. In an activity diagram, drag a Control Flow shape onto the drawing page.

   2. Glue the Control Flow shape endpoint (without the arrowhead) to a connection point on the source Action State or State shape.

   3. Glue the Control Flow shape endpoint (with an arrowhead) to a connection point on the destination Action State or State shape.

   4. Double-click the Control Flow shape to add a transition string, including an event, guard condition, action expression, and more.

4. Use the complex transition shapes, Transition (Fork) or Transition (Join), to represent the forking of one action state into multiple parallel states, or the synchronization of multiple action states into one state. For more information, see Work with transition shapes in UML statechart and activity diagrams.

5. If you want to replace transition strings with signal icons, use the Signal Send and Signal Receipt shapes to represent the signals.

6. Double-click any shape to open its UML Properties dialog box where you can add a name, transition string, guard condition, deferred events, and other properties.

7. Save the diagram.

Create outlook tasks in onenote

Newer versions Office 2007



As you take notes and plan projects in OneNote, you might wonder how to manage deadlines and remember the things on your to-do list. One way is to create Outlook tasks. Then you can view and track those tasks in Outlook and even get reminders.

Create an Outlook task in OneNote

1. In OneNote, select the words that you want to be your task.

2. In the menu that appears, click the arrow next to the Outlook Tasks button and choose a reminder.

   A flag appears next to your task in OneNote and your task is added to Outlook.

   

Tip: You can also use this menu to add note tags. Note tags are handy for things like creating to-do lists or marking items as important. Unlike Outlook tasks (flags) though, note tags are a feature of OneNote. You can tag action items in meeting notes in OneNote, but they won't show up in Outlook.

Find a task in OneNote

• On the Home tab in OneNote, choose Find Tags.

  

  Your Outlook tasks will be in the Tags Summary pane on the right.

Note: Outlook tasks are the ones with the flags or check marks. You'll also see OneNote tags here too, such as things you've marked for follow-up or tagged as a question.

Mark a task as complete

• In the Tags Summary pane in OneNote, check the flag next to an Outlook task.

  The task is marked as completed in both the OneNote Tags Summary pane and in Outlook.

Tips: 

• When you mark a task as complete in Outlook, the task is marked as complete in OneNote when Outlook and OneNote sync. If you check the task as complete in OneNote, it gets marked as complete in Outlook and is removed from your tasks list.

• If you'd like to add the task back into Outlook, check the box again.

Delete a task

If you decide you don't need a task, you can remove it. You've got two choices: Delete the task from Outlook, which also removes the tag (flag) from OneNote (the text will still be in your OneNote notes) or Remove the tag from OneNote and keep the task in Outlook.

To remove the task from Outlook:

• Right-click the tag in your notes, and choose Deleted Outlook Task.

  The text remains in OneNote and the task is removed from Outlook.

To keep the task in Outlook and remove the flag from OneNote:

• Right-click the tag in your notes, and choose Remove Tag.

  The tag (flag) is removed from OneNote and the task remains in Outlook.

  

OneNote and Outlook work together in other ways too. For example, you can insert meeting details and send notes in an email message.

Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 is tightly integrated with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to make it easy for you to manage and share information between your notebook and your schedule.

Create an Outlook task in OneNote

When you create an Outlook task from within OneNote, it is added to your Outlook Tasks list the next time you open Outlook.

Note: If your installation of Outlook is configured for multiple e-mail profiles, you must start Outlook before you can successfully create and save Outlook tasks in OneNote. To check the e-mail profiles on your computer, in Control Panel category view, click User Accounts, and then click Mail. If you are using Control Panel classic view, double-click the Mail icon.

1. In any part of your notes, type a description for the task that you want to create.

   For example, type Send out notes from the meeting.

2. On the Insert menu, point to Outlook Task, and then choose a reminder for the new task.

   A task flag appears next to the description when the task has been created. To view details about the task, move the pointer over the task icon until a tooltip appears.

   Note: The task flag may appear dimmed until Outlook recognizes the new task and the task is synchronized between Outlook and OneNote. When this is the case, the task tooltip also displays synchronization status.

Find a task in OneNote

1. On the Standard toolbar, click the arrow next to the Tags button, and then click Show all Tagged Notes.

2. In the Tags Summary pane, narrow the Search scope if needed, and then click Refresh Results.

Change an Outlook task in OneNote

1. On your notes page in OneNote, right-click the Outlook task that you want to change.

2. On the shortcut menu, do any of the following:

   • To change the start date associated with the selected Outlook task, click a new start date (for example, Tomorrow.) To remove the start date association with the task, click No Date.

   • To mark the selected Outlook task as completed, click Mark Complete.

   • To delete the selected Outlook task, click Delete Outlook Task.

Note: If you want to change the task directly in Outlook, right-click the Outlook task icon on your notes page, and then click Open Task in Outlook on the shortcut menu.
