    How to import data (words and sentences) from Excel into PowerPoint?

    I have data in 2 columns in Excel, which consists of a word in one column and a short definition for the word in the next column. These words and definitions change regularly. For presentation purposes, I need to pull the Excel data into a PowerPoint presentation that is preprogrammed in order to present the data.

    I think about 5-6 words/definitions per page. To present effectively, the words and definitions need to become as I click on the return button (so I can present the word, then the definition, then the next word, then the next definition) instead of being visible all at once.

    Basically (all would be centered-word would be larger and in bold):

    Lessen
    make or become less; diminish

    Improve
    make or become better

    Diminish
    make or become less

    There can be up to 70 words/definitions although it changes weekly.

    How can this be done?

    I was going to suggest doing a one-time setup using linked Excel tables in several PPT slides, but your additional requirement for animation might make this quite complicated. It might require a custom VBA solution.

    Can attach a sample Excel with words, and a sample PowerPoint showing what you want the result to look like? You don't need to give 70 words, just enough for two slides.
