For example, I've created a scatter plot graph in Excel and inserted it into
PowerPoint. When I'm in excel I'm able to put my cursor over a point and it
displays the information that I inserted in the source data box, however when
I move it over to PowerPoint it doesn't allow me to do this. What I would
like is to be able to place my cursor over the point in the graph, while in
PowerPoint and it display the information connected to it. Help...

Hi,

You can do it with mouse over hyperlinks, but it is better to sue triggers
if you have PowerPoint 2002 or 2003. Similar to what is done here:

Else, this will be demonstrated at PowerPoint Live. But I don't like to let
on as to what I am up to before I get there <grin>.
