I have put a 37 page powerpoint presentation into an excel worksheet. What I would like it to do is read like a book from within excel (ie, not open up the presentation itself). Is there VBA to do this? :confused:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
To make sure I understand. You want to embed the Powerpoint file into excel (Insert-object-from file)

Then instead of double clicking (Opening a presentation) it you want to be able to control the powerpoint from within the excel file? I'd assume similar to how it works in powerpoint but from within excel.



Clicked save to quick here is my solution: Insert object from file. Right-click the newly created box and hit Presentation Object->Edit

This will allow you to scroll through your slides? Not sure there is a better solution for excel.

If you click off of the Powerpoint object or hit esc you go back to controlling excel. I think this is kind of what you want?
