Q: What EzPaste  can do for me?

A: EzPaste is an Excel^® add-in intended for completely automating and managing the otherwise manual and tedious process of copying and pasting objects from Excel^® to PowerPoint^®. EzPaste identifies automatically all objects in the active Excel^® file. Just select which objects to paste and in which order, and EzPaste will then do the work

Q: Which objects in  Excel^®, does EzPaste  identify as potential for pasting to PowerPoint^®?

A: EzPaste  automatically identifies 3 types of objects:-

o        Embedded charts in a regular Excel^® sheet

o        Charts located in a separate ChartSheet

o        Tables of data

Q: How do I get to EzPaste  features?

A: EzPaste is installed as an Excel^® Add-In. Once installed, a new menu item "EzPaste" is created in the Excel^® command bar menu. All EzPaste features are available from that menu item

Q: Should I have to redefine the EzPaste  settings, each time I reopen the same Excel^® file?

A: Not at all! Each time the Excel^® file is closed, all the EzPaste settings of that file are saved within that file as well

Q: How does EzPaste  know to which PowerPoint^® file to refer?

A: EzPaste  monitors which PowerPoint^® file is active. The objects will then be pasted to that file in 2 possible modes:

·         To new slides automatically added to the active PowerPoint^® file

·         To predefined slide numbers in the active PowerPoint^® file

Before pasting takes place, EzPaste will indicate you how many objects will be pasted and to which PowerPoint^® file, and ask you for your confirmation

Q: How do I know which objects have been identified by EzPaste  ?

A: EzPaste shows the list of objects in its Main Form. A preview window in the Form displays the picture of each selected object in the list

Q: Is there a limit to the number of objects that could be pasted ?

A: No!

Q: How does EzPaste  know in what order to paste objects to PowerPoint^®?

A: The question is only relevant when the Pasting mode is in "New slides automatically added" mode. In this mode, you can move up and down each object in the list

In "Predefined slide numbers" mode, each object is pasted to its target slide according to the slide  number allocated in  EzPaste

Q: How does EzPaste  identify which tables of data are relevant for pasting?

A:  EzPaste  provides a built-in utility for creating Tables of data in Excel^®. EzPaste^© identifies tables according to the name they have been assigned. Only tables of data with a specific name are identified by EzPaste^©. The name serves as a fixed reference address for that table, regardless of the data inside the table.

Q: How does EzPaste  know how to position pasted objects in the PowerPoint^® slides?

A: EzPaste^© enables you to control the exact positioning of the objects in the target PowerPoint^® slides. It provides a visual utility in order to set the slide layout

Q: In what format are Excel^® objects pasted in PowerPoint^®?

A: Objects from Excel^® may be pasted as flat pictures (that cannot be edited within PowerPoint^®) or as Excel^® objects (that can be edited within PowerPoint^®, by double clicking on them). By default, EzPaste pastes objects as Pictures (it is much faster and the resulting PowerPoint^® file is smaller). Nevertheless, you can choose to paste as Excel^® editable objects. You can also use both modes in the same pasting session

Q: In which Picture Format are Excel^® objects pasted in PowerPoint^®, if I choose to paste as Picture?

A: Two formats are available: Enhanced metafile or Bitmap. The former is the default as it usually gives much better results

Q: What if I want to select only a range or chart in Excel and paste it to the active PowerPoint^® slide?

A: No problem! A button on the EzPaste tool bar, enables to paste the current selection in one swift step instead of the 4-5 steps in the usual way. This feature alone justifies the use of EzPaste

Q: Can I control the pasting process from PowerPoint^® and not from Excel^®?

A: Yes! Once the EzPaste main form is loaded, you may use it while you are in PowerPoint^® (or anywhere else). The form will display the list of objects in the active Excel^® file

Q: Why does the pasting process sometimes take more time than usual?

A: The probable reason is that the pasting format mode is "Excel^® editable objects" which takes longer time than the format mode "Picture", due to the fact that not only the object is pasted but also information about the spreadsheet that it is in

Q: What is the difference between the Trial and the Registered version ?

A: The trial version has 2 limitations:-

A trial period expiring date

Limited number of objects to be pasted at once
