Inserting Data From Text Documents

You can insert text into other document types, such as spreadsheets and presentations. Note that there is a difference between whether the text is inserted into a frame, a spreadsheet cell, or into the outline view of a presentation.

• If you copy text to the clipboard, you can paste it with or without text attributes. Use the shortcut keys Ctrl+C to copy and Ctrl+V to paste.

* If a text document contains headings formatted with the Heading Paragraph Style, choose **File - Send - Outline to Presentation**. A new presentation document is created, which contains the headings as an outline. * If you want to transfer each heading together with its accompanying paragraphs, select the **File - Send - AutoAbstract to Presentation** command. You must have formatted the headings with a corresponding Paragraph Style to be able to see this command.

Copying Text Using Drag-and-Drop

• If you select text and drag it into a spreadsheet with drag-and-drop, it will be inserted as text into the cell where you release the mouse.
• If you drag text to the normal view of a presentation, an OLE object is inserted as a Office plug-in.
• If you drag the text to the outline view of a presentation, it will be inserted at the cursor location.
