Linking Excel files in Powerpoint

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

How does one link an Excel cell range into a Powerpoint presentation?

It works fine in Word by doing a Paste Special and then selecting the "Paste Link" checkbox and the "Microsoft Excel Sheet Object" type, but there seems to be no equivalent in Powerpoint.

I am using 2008.

Any help is greatly appreciated... I need to link from a routinely updated excel spreadsheet into a powerpoint presentation. Not being able to dynamically link would become a nightmare of individually updating embedded excel objects...

Thanks!
