Explain how to copy/import tables to Excel using presentation software

The Task

Create a presentation that shows how to copy and import data into Excel. Show how to partially automate data entry from existing data tables online for tasks such as the Weather Index.


Notes

This is a different kind of challenge. Instead of asking you to solve some sort of problem, I'm trying to get people to familiarize themselves with presentation software through the development of a walk through of sorts.

I personally prefer to use a local installation of PowerPoint. Microsoft has a free web-based version at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps/

Google also has a free web-based presentation program that can be found at https://drive.google.com/

Feel Free to Comment

I do not provide space to those who visit my blog. If you would like to share any files, you are going to have to find your own online storage. At that point, you can provide links with your comments. I would like to point out that macros can create security risks. If possible, save all documents as a standard presentations (not macro-enabled) unless macros are vital to your solution. If you are going to download any solutions, make sure that you are not loading macros by default. If a presentation includes macros, check the code before running them.
