Have you ever wondered how to extract text from an image without typing it all out?

The ability to convert pictures to text can save you a significant amount of time, especially if you frequently work with images containing text. 

It’s also a great tool for digitizing handwritten notes or documents. 

However, the accuracy of the text conversion can vary depending on the quality of the image and the legibility of the text.

For instance, if you’ve taken a screenshot of a recipe from a cooking website, you can use the Snipping Tool to quickly convert the ingredients list into a text format that you can easily edit or share.

Boost Your Productivity with Microsoft Excel's Paste as Picture

Have you ever wondered how to make your Excel reports more visually appealing? 

Or how to keep your data updated across multiple sheets without the hassle of manual updates?

Here's a Back-to-Work-Monday Cool Tip.  Use Microsoft Excel's Paste as Picture.

Microsoft Excel, a powerful tool in the Microsoft Office suite, offers two unique features: Paste as Picture and Paste as Linked Picture. 

While they may sound similar, they serve different purposes and can be used to achieve different outcomes.

Here's how to do it.

Paste as Picture

This feature allows you to take a snapshot of your selected cells and paste it as an image. 

• Select the cells you want to copy.

fig. 1 - Select Table to Copy

• Go to the Home tab, click on the Copy dropdown, and select Copy as Picture.
• In the dialog box, choose “As shown on screen” and “Picture”, then click OK.

fig. 2 - Microsoft Excel Copy as Picture

• Go to the location where you want to paste the picture and press Ctrl+V.

It’s a great way to preserve the look of your data, especially when sharing it with others.

The pasted picture won’t change even if the original data is modified.

Paste as Linked Picture

This feature creates a live snapshot of a range of cells. 

• Select the cells you want to copy.
• Copy the cells (Ctrl+C).
• Go to the Home tab, click on the Paste dropdown, and select Linked Picture.

fig. 3 - Microsoft Excel - Paste as Linked Picture

The linked picture updates automatically when the original data changes.

It’s useful for creating dynamic dashboards and reports.

Here’s an example to illustrate the difference. 

• Let’s say you have a cell A1 with the value 10. 
• If you use Paste as Picture, you’ll get a picture of the cell displaying 10. 
• If you change the value in A1 to 20, the picture remains the same. 
• But if you use Paste as Linked Picture, the picture will update to display 20.

Be sure to check out this video that explains Paste as Picture and Paste as Linked Picture.
