Powerpoint novice needs some help please

[John]

Hi,

I've been handed a PPt file requesting i set up some links with Excel.
Problem so far is i have a Slide that looks to me like it contains a table
(IE its got cells in it!!)
What i would like to be able to do is link a Cell in Excel to this Cell in
Powerpoint. Is this possible please.

If it helps: I recorded a macro in PP when in this specific slide. It came
back with
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Group 7").Select

Any starters on this request greatly received.

Thank you
John

Hi there,

you could try to copy te excel cell(s) on your clipboard en then paste -
special in Powerpoint using te option thats standing directly under paste (i
think it should be paste link..)

after that you'l see that it will work..

good luck, from Holland!

Hi,

Thanks for the idea. I tried that before posting this note and it copied
the entire sheet contents when i did Paste Link!

oke, you can select just one cell of row or whatever you want to see en paste
it, i know it works..

just open your exceldocument en select that what you want by holding your
rightmousebutton, click left mouse in your selection, select copy..... then
select the page in powerpoint, paste special, link... can't miss.. good
luck.. keep up the good work!!
