What Does the Add-in Do?
The add-in updates Word & PowerPoint content based on Excel data, text, calculations, and graphics using robust links. It can update text, lists, tables, charts, shapes, and images. You can automate customer proposals, recurring business/financial reports, assessment results, data-intensive contracts, and much more. Thousands of small-to-large businesses and individual professionals depend on the add-in to reliably and quickly produce data-intensive documentation.
Merge content from any new or existing Excel workbook into any new or existing Word or PowerPoint document.
How Does it Work?
Initially, your Word or PowerPoint document needs to be LINKed to your Excel workbook once, then you can UPDATE the document many times or by many people.
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 items using the add-in.
UPDATE many times:
- "Submit" content from Excel; then "Update" content in Word or PowerPoint. The add-in can update many items in one update.
Rely on robust links that won’t break when you share your documents or change your file names. Unlike other linking solutions, you can: rename files, copy/paste and reorganize content, email/share the linked files, etc. …and the content will still always update.

Real Stories of Success from Customers
“Fantastic Add-In. I'm having a great experience with it, I did some research and it's by far the easiest method for transferring data from Excel to Word. My company has some quite complicated Excel documents and I was able to name 141 cells of varying content and have them transfer over into a word template report.”
Brian O.
"The embedded links from Microsoft are clunky and unreliable. Excel-to-Word has proved to be an excellent solution to lengthy financial reports that require Excel cells, ranges, and tables."
