Usage

This macro runs when the report has been processed. ONLY when XLSX is checked on the Schedule, will the output XLSX file be embedded in the Word or PowerPoint document. NOTE: this macro only works for Word and PowerPoint input documents. In PowerPoint, insert the macro into the Notes or any shape, but note that the shape ID parameter is still mandatory and should be set in the Alt Text of the shape.
