I need to link an Excel spreadsheet and a PowerPoint presentation into Word. Can someone explain how to do this please?

Any help would be appreciated! :)

    I'm not an expert, but here's how I link files :)

    Have cursor at the place where you want your spreadsheet/presentation then

    Using Standard Toolbar

    Insert - Object --then choose

    Create from file Tab --then

    Browse for file + tick Link to file

    click OK

    In word document repeat all of the above for the other object.

    Once the objects are in place

    Using Standard Toolbar

    Edit - Links

    Highlight the source file (s) and set the update method for each.

    Hope this helps

    The spreadsheet should update within the doc either manually or auto depending on your setting.
    You need to double-click on the presentation to run it, and use a right-click mouse menu to close during run or for other commands.
