Cannot update linked picture...

[Andrey Kazak]

Hallo!

I made a blank presentation and inserted a picture on it through Insert, and
then click Link to File. But I can't update it!

The reason is that the Links option on the Edit menu is always inactive
during a PowerPoint session...

Could you help me please to figure out how to activate the Links option?

 

[Andrey Kazak]

Any ideas?

Thank you Steve!

Is there any way to force linked pictures update while running one
PowerPoint session?

This needs to be tested on PowerPoint 2003...

People, I have had the exact same problem. No offense to the Micosoft Office
Experts, but it seems you guys are not catching what the users are asking.
I'm unsure if it is that the users do not know how to explain themselves
properly or maybe because you guys do not understand the situation or
frustration of the users.

I know what it feels like because I have experienced it first-hand this week
(13 July 2009 to 16 July 2009).

Between myself and my collegue, we have done extensive research on this
issue and have found a workable and quite friendly solution to the problem.

The problem is this; When you have a "Display" machine like a "Kiosk" in the
staff canteen. You would like to have a PowerPoint presentation running there
24/7. The problem is to update this presentation without touching the
"Dispaly" PC. PowerPoint does not allow a smooth update to the presentation
without user intervention. The Presentation should work FOR YOU, and YOU FOR
the presentation.

Guys, if you would like to know the solution, please, e-mail me on
(e-mail address removed), I will gladly help you to solve this problem!
