Powerpoint

Can you still paste special links to other files e.g. an excel spreadsheet into powerpoint. When you do can you refresh.

RE: Powerpoint

Hello Chris

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Yes, the ability to use Paste Special to create a link between 2 files has been retained in the 2007 version of Office.

You would need to click the dropdown arrow associated with the Paste button on the Home ribbon; then select Paste Special, and choose Paste Link.

As with previous versions, you would be given the opportunity to update the data when the file is opened (or the data will update straight away if you have both files open).

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Microsoft Office tip:

Copying From Websites

If you find some interesting text on a website that you wish to use and adapt in your wordprocessor or other package, highlight and copy in the normal way first.

When you paste though, use the Paste Special option to insert as unformatted text. That cuts out all the fancy formatting and hyperlinks that may be embedded.
