Recovering Spreadsheet data from linked source

[ShannaD]

Can someone help me? I am trying to help a friend recover some of the 12
years of data he lost when his hard drive crashed.

Does anyone know how you can copy an excel workbook out of a source file in
Powerpoint? Meaning he had pasted a link to a chart in this powerpoint file
and when you double click on the chart you can see the source data. Does
anyone know any way to copy all of that out at once? The only thing I can
think of is to copy each of the spreadsheets and then just rebuild the charts
from the new spreadsheets.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

ShannaD,

You might experiment with File > Save As Web Page > Web Page. This will
break out all of the individual files involved in the presentation. Otherwize
you are best off doing as you've described (copy/paste/rebuild).

Right click the workbook in PPT. There'll be a menu item named something like
"Excel object". Choose that and from the flyout menu, choose Open. It will open
in Excel. From there you can save the workbook as you would any Excel file.

That should give you the entire Excel file, too.

Good luck!
