Copy from Excel to a table in Powerpoint

I have an excel file. I want to copy data from this excel file into a
ppt file. But this ppt file has a table on it's slide. I want to copy
from excel to a specific cell in the ppt's table.

I just know that you can paste in a Shape in ppt but how can I paste in
a specific cell in ppt?

thanks
Sadia

You might try pasting the Excel table as a picture:

1. In Excel, while holding down the SHIFT key, pull-down Copy > Picture
2. In PowerPoint, just paste.

Because you have pasted a picture, you can move it around, re-size it to fit
within the PowerPoint table cell.

Thanks for your reply. I forgot to mention one thing that I am trying
to do the above using an excel macro.
I want the macro to copy contents of a cell from excel and paste them
in a specific cell in ppt's table.
Is that even possible?
thanks again,
