Linking/mporting EXCEL charts into MS POWERPOINT

[Anders]

I have generated a lot of charts, which resides inside an
MS EXCEL file. These charts are updated regularly and I am
required to present the results to management.
Questions:
1. Can I import these charts into my PPT file in a more
automatic fashin that what I use now, i.e. select the
chart in EXCEL, Copy and paste the clipboard in PPT?
2. When I do the copy and paste I get not only the chart,
but also the data behind the chart - the EXCEL data, for
EVERY chart I copy and paste. This means that the PPT file
grows rapidly! Is it possible to import only the chart to
PPT and not the data behind?
3. The ultimate solution would be that the graphs in my
PPT file are created from links to the graphs in my EXCEL
file, so if the EXCEL charts change, this will be visible
next time I open my PPT file. Is there such a possibility?
Thanks,
Anders
