List in different formats

[Guest]

A short intro: I work for a company that sells dvds and cds. Every week we
make a saleslist based on sale and expected sale of new titles. The problem
is that I have to make the same list in different formats, based on what it's
to be used for. The articles on every list is the same, but the articleinfo
varies. I have to make the following formats: csv, doc, excel, html, ppt. The
info are mainly text, but there is also a collumn with pictures.

So to the question. Is it possible to make one list in excel, and then
generate the rest of them from there? Today we use a lot of time every week
to maintain these list.

Try mail merge with Word. For CSV, DOC, and HTML, you can just Save As. For
PPT, everything should be heading 1 and 2 styles, then File-->Send
to-->Powerpoint. To merge the graphics, you might get the help you need
