Using Data Between Programs To utilize a query and/or table’s data in another program (such as Excel), you will use the ‘Import Access’ button under the data tab On the dialogs that popup you will choose the appropriate object you wish to import and the position in the spreadsheet. Similar to Word, PowerPoint can use objects from other Office programs Commonly charts/graphs The easiest way to move a chart into PowerPoint is simply by copy and paste
