Insert Sample Content

To see how it works:

1. On the "Start" tab of the add-in in Excel, click "Insert Sample Content" (or Download an Excel Workbook)
2. Download Sample Word or PowerPoint Documents
3. Follow the simple steps in the Excel add-in. The Word and PowerPoint documents are linked to the sample Excel content. You can modify inputs in the Excel workbook to see how content changes in the Word and/or PowerPoint documents after you "Submit Content" (in Excel), then "Update Document" (in Word or PowerPoint).
