Section 10.1: Embedded Files

PowerPoint allows you to embed files within your project. You can do this in two ways. One is as a link, the other is a embedded file. Keep in mind that if you do embed a file, you need to send both files to the reader. Otherwise the connection between the two files would be cut and the info for the user would be lost. To embed a file,

  1. In a blank Word Document, go to the Insert Tab. In the Text section, click Object.
