Will powerpoint with Excel paste special links work if I email b.

[RPowrie]

I have prepared a powerpoint which includes a number of linked inputs from
Excel (copy in excel and in powerpoint paste special, paste link).

I want to send both the excel and the powerpoint via email to others so that
they can update their powerpoints using the excel spreadsheet links

What do the email recipients have to do to maintain the links

You will need to put the excel spreadsheet into the same folder as the
PowerPoint presentation before you make your links, then send both the
presentation and the excel spreadsheet to your email recipients.

People, I have had the exact same problem. No offense to the Micosoft Office
Experts, but it seems you guys are not catching what the users are asking.
I'm unsure if it is that the users do not know how to explain themselves
properly or maybe because you guys do not understand the situation or
frustration of the users.

I know what it feels like because I have experienced it first-hand this week
(13 July 2009 to 16 July 2009).

Between myself and my collegue, we have done extensive research on this
issue and have found a workable and quite friendly solution to the problem.

The problem is this; When you have a "Display" machine like a "Kiosk" in the
staff canteen. You would like to have a PowerPoint presentation running there
24/7. The problem is to update this presentation without touching the
"Dispaly" PC. PowerPoint does not allow a smooth update to the presentation
without user intervention. The Presentation should work FOR YOU, and YOU FOR
the presentation.

Guys, if you would like to know the solution, please, e-mail me on
(e-mail address removed), I will gladly help you to solve this problem!
