Updating Excel Link in PPT

Glen,
thanks for the reply...i'm in PPT 2007. I have the Excel links set up
already...PPT just isn't asking me when I open the file to "update
links"...so my links don't refresh.

Any help would be great!!!

I think what Glen meant was to check Edit | Links and make sure that each link
is set to Automatic update (at the bottom of the dialog box) rather than Manual.

Click the Office button --> Prepare --> Edit links to files.

From there you can either select all of them and go to "Automatic" at
the bottom or you can keep them Manual and just click on "Update Now"
if you only want to update them once in a while (that's how I leave
them).
