Inserting a Word document into a presentation

I have a PowerPoint presentation and somebody has sent me a Word document
containing an organisation chart that needs to be included in the
presentation.

I have tried copy/paste into a slide but it doesn't paste properly. Is
there any other way of importing this information, without re-creating the
chart?

Any urgent help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Since this is urgent, I'll give it a stab, but this is not my area of
expertise. I'm sure someone else will come along eventually with a
better solution. If I couldn't get the chart into PPT directly, I would
try converting it to some form of picture. In the worst case, you could
take a screen shot of the screen while looking at the chart. However,
you should be able to save it as a picture (such as JPG) directly from
Word. Then you can just insert the picture from a file. This won't give
you the ability to edit the chart within PowerPoint, but it will get
into the presentation.

Good idea. Or a slightly different approach:

Select and copy the chart then switch to PPT, choose Paste Special and
experiment with the different options.
