Updating graphs

is it possible to update the same graph that sits in several presentations from one excel spreadsheet?

RE: updating graphs

Hi Fiona,
Thank you for your question;
In answer; Yes, if each presentation is 'linked' to the graph, when the graph is updated so the data which is linked will be updated with the latest version as each presentation is opened. To do this it is necessary to create the link using the Insert>Object>Create from File and ensure you click the Link option. I hope that helps ... Pete

You will then be given the option to save the slide you are on, or all slides.

Create a new presentation and then Insert the saved PNG files into the new presentation. This way no one can change your slides, the way they were meant to be
