Other Easy Ways to Share Office Information

OfficeLinks button in Microsoft Access

Each Office application includes convenient ways to transfer information quickly to other applications. In Microsoft Access, you can click the OfficeLinks button on the Database toolbar to transfer database information to other Office applications. You can also insert information from a Microsoft Excel list into a form, or use the Report Wizard to create reports that incorporate data from Microsoft Excel. Move a list created in Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Access and create a new database by using the Convert to MS Access command (Data menu) in Microsoft Excel. Or, if you create a PowerPoint presentation and want to transfer it to Word to create speaker notes, in PowerPoint, click Send To (File menu), and then click Microsoft Word Outline.

Want another easy way to transfer information between applications?   First, make sure that the file into which you want to transfer information is open, and that its icon appears on the Windows taskbar. In the other application, select the information you want to transfer. Drag the selection onto the application’s icon on the taskbar and continue holding down the mouse button until the application opens. Then drag the selection to where you want it.
