If anyone can help, I'd be most appreciative. I have the following needs
within the MS Office suite, and can't figure out how to make it work. The
issue:
We have a daily MS PowerPoint brief that automatically links to several
documents all over our server. The documents are Word and Excel format. What
I'd like to accomplish is have all this information feeding the PP on one
file - Excel or Word or other Office program.
The needs and problems:
1. The file would have to allow for multiple users to make edits
simultaneously. Excel allows this, Word does not.
2. The document would have to allow text editing, object imbedding (word
docs) and spreadsheet input. (we have a spreadsheet that would need to be
included on this file) No problem in Excel, except when you share an Excel
file, the text box features and object imbedding features become disabled.
3. The file would need to allow for automatic linking of info to a MS PP file.
4. Software, other than MS Office, is pretty much out of the question. I'm
operating on a gov't network and third party software is not an option here.
(Unless it goes through about a year of testing and approvals)
That's basically it at a minimum. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks in
advance!
