When you select the Microsoft PowerPoint option in the Exports dialog box (see Exports dialog box), some extra options are available. To use this option, Microsoft Office 2007 or later must be installed on your computer. Close all Excel files (to avoid an invalid export result) before starting the export.

By default, tables are exported to Microsoft PowerPoint as charts.

Use this option to specify whether the export should create charts only, tables only, or both tables and charts, and whether the chart or the table should be shown first. Note that the tables and charts are created using Microsoft Excel, so you need to have both PowerPoint and Excel installed to be able to use these options.For details of the way in which you can display data in charts, see Understanding charts.

Select a chart type from the list. If you want to use a custom chart that you have created in Excel, type in the name of the custom chart.

Select this option to hide PowerPoint during the export. This makes the export faster.

Select if you want UNICOM Intelligence Reporter - Survey Tabulation to automatically launch PowerPoint and open the file that contains the exported table(s).

If you want to use a PowerPoint template other than the default, choose the Browse button and select another template to attach to the PowerPoint file. By default, PowerPoint templates are stored in subfolders under a Microsoft Office templates folder, for example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\Presentation Designs and have the file extension .pot.

Check this box and enter a name and location for the output file, or choose the Browse button to browse to the folder where you want to save it. If you do not specify a save location, and the Launch after export option is also not selected, you are prompted to either launch the associated application or select a save location.
