How to set automatic update in powerpoint

Guest

I have powerpoint presentation embedded in an excel file. I have around 20
Excel graphs linked in powerpoint. When the powerpoint file is opened I get
a dialog box asking if I want to update links.

I would like to have the links automatically updated without having the
dialog box asking about updating. how do I do this

Try this, I also have posting trying to have text use scroll bar on slide:
On the Edit menu, click Links.
Click the linked object (linked object: An object that is created in a
source file and inserted into a destination file, while maintaining a
connection between the two files. The linked object in the destination file
can be updated when the source file is updated.) you want to update.
To select multiple linked objects, hold down CTRL while you click each object.
THEN . . .
Do one or more of the following:
To update a linked object each time you open the file that contains it — or
any time the object changes while the file is open — click Automatic or
Automatic update.
To update a linked object only when you click Update Now, click Manual or
Manual update

All links are set up for automatic update, but I still get the dialog box
asking If I wan to update links

I would make sure all updates are applied, that may remove the prompt since
that makes it NOT automatic. There is also a fix for mixed screen fonts that
cause printing errors if certain selections in PP do not match selections in
linked files. Just a thought.
