In this project, you will create a presentation for the Top’t Corn popcorn company using resources from a Word document, an Access database, and two Excel files. First, you will format an outline in Word so it can be imported as slides and content for the presentation. You will format the look of the text before and after importing and use Format Painter to copy and paste formatting between slides. Next, you will import data from Excel into an Access database and then create two queries based on that imported data. You will export the query results to a new Excel workbook where you will add formulas and create a table and a chart. Finally, you will copy and paste the chart and table data from Excel into your PowerPoint presentation.
