power point link
In Power Point I used "Send to Word" to create a Word document that consists
of all the Power Point slides and notes - the slides are individual links in the Word document and the notes are straight text. It appears that I can modify a slide and that will be updated in my Word document. However, if I add a new slide or modify my notes, that does not update in the Word document. Does anyone know of a way to have new slides inserted into my Word document as new links when I make changes? |

power point link
I've been watching to see if anyone would respond. I tried several things,
but even inserting the PowerPoint file as an object into Word doesn't seem to do what you want. The problem seems to be with the way that PowerPoint interacts with the clipboard and OLE. You might try over in one of the PowerPoint groups where the PP experts hang out. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP http://www.herbtyson.com Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along.

Yes, inserting as object (even though you will only see the first slide that way, anyway; you could double-click the object and open it in PPT again) does not seem to work at all with "links". It seems the target application always wants to get hold of an actual copy. In a similar thread, I proposed instead to automate a way of inserting the individual slides: - creating the current "state" of all slides in PPT is one operation (save as: WMF) - importing these as links should be a smallish VBA procedure. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
