Document Templates

This page contains Excel, Word, and PowerPoint templates for use with the Excel-to-Word Document Automation Add-In. 

We provide these documents as examples to show how the add-in works and as templates for your own use. You are welcome to download and modify these documents for your own use.

Sample Content Template and How-to Guide

These Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents are designed to show how the add-in works and how to link content. The documents contain QuickStart, as well as, advanced content. This is the best way to initially try the add-in.

They demonstrate how to set up documents with the following capabilities: Flex Tables, Destination Tables, Shapes, PivotTables, Currency Switching, Multi-lingual Reports, Advanced Charts/Graphs, Automatic Table Resizing, HTML formatting, Document Assembly (Conditional Content), Auto-Hide rows/columns based on cell value, Conditional Submit, Table Merged Cells, Dynamic Lists, and Paragraphs, Professional Word layouts, Mail Merge, etc.

The documents can be found via the "Insert Sample Content" on the "Start" tab of the add-in

Or view/download them directly: Excel Workbook, Word, PowerPoint

Some features may require sign-in (free) or higher to transfer/update due to transfer size limitations for anonymous accounts.

QuickStart  Contains basic examples (text, table, chart) to quickly demonstrate core updating capabilities of the add-in
Text, Lists, and Paragraphs
  • Add text to various document content types (titles, paragraphs, shapes, etc.)
  • Incorporate/update data within text
  • Dynamically create lists and paragraphs (based on Excel formulas)
Tables

The add-in allows you to update Word and PowerPoint tables in 3 ways: 1. Destination-formatted tables, 2. Excel-formatted (Flex) tables, and 3. Via an image of the source range/table. 

  • Source Excel data can be based on named ranges, tables (data tables), or PivotTables
  • Supports tables with merged cells
  • Tables automatically resize to match source (Excel) table size
  • Tables can be configured to hide rows if hidden in Excel
Image of Ranges Transfers the image of the named range, just as it appears in Excel.
Charts / Graphs Essentially any chart type is supported. Updates charts images and/or native charts based on a range in Excel.
Shape Images Transfer any type of shape to your Word/PPT document: text boxes, lines, geometric shapes, SmartArt, WordArt, pictures/photos, icons, maps, and equations.
HTML Enables inserting HTML content into Word. Format text (bold, colors), add hyperlinks, insert images from URLs, etc. HTML can be created dynamically.
Layout Options Dynamic content can be incorporated in a variety of ways (not just in-line), enabling great-looking documents/presentations
Mail Merge Shows how to update multiple documents (one at a time) based on a table or database of information (e.g. each row in Excel creates a document based on data in that row)
Conditional Content Describes how the add-in can include/exclude document sections, similar to "Document Assembly". Conditional Sections automatically removes un-needed Word sections or PowerPoint slides.
