prepare external links unavailable

A

AzCowboy

I finally figured out how to link the charts in PowerPoint to Excel by doing
a Paste special. Every thing works until I save and reopen the file. When I
open the file I get the message “Microsoft Office has identified a potential
security concern.†“The presentation contains links to other files.†I press
the “update links†button and then get the message “Some links were
unavailable and can’t be up dated.â€
I then check the status of the links by Office>Prepare>Links to files
Under the column “Update†it show all my links as “Unavailableâ€
I can reestablish each link one by one by clicking the link and then
clicking the “Change Source button†and reconnecting it to its original file.
I tried change the trust center options in both PowerPoint and Excel but
this did not fix the problem either.
What I want to happen is to open the PowerPoint file and have it
automatically/manually update all my linked charts.
