How it Works
Initially, you "Link" your Word or PowerPoint document to your Excel workbook once, then you can Update the document many times.
Link Content Once:
- In Excel, name source items (cells, ranges, tables, shapes, and charts).
- Then link (associate) those source content items to destination (Word or PowerPoint) content using the add-in.
Update Many Times:
- "Submit" content from Excel. This saves the content to storage (usually browser storage on your device). No one else can access your content.
- Then "Update" content in Word or PowerPoint. "Update" imports/loads the Excel-submitted content from your storage and updates the content.
The add-in can update many items (text, tables, images) in one update in seconds.
