How to unlink .EMF-links in PowerPoint

[Giggi]

We use to link .EMF files into large PowerPoint files, which let us run jobs
that
creates the .emf files into the last minute before we publicate out data.
What we can´t do is to break the links to the .emf files.

It is not an OLE and not an object 10, no hyperlink.

Now I have to import the ppt-file to Impress and break the links.
Sometimes we lose information in the .emf file doing this.
It is ok with a programming solution in VBA or VB.

Thanks

Does copy > paste special not break the link?

I think linked emf's should be type 11 if you need to use vba

Thanks for the answer.
Well copying and pasting 1500 .emf files is not what we wish to do.
Furthermore the files changes in size. We have a nice macro we
use to link the files with and that put them where we want them on the slide
and with the right size. All this are changed when copying and pasting.
We do the same in Word and it works so well, as we can break the links when
we are ready.
We don't want to do "Travelready" (don't know the english word for it) as we
get 1500 hundred files to be copied with the file!

Have a look at http://www.pptools.com/fixlinks/

The ability to break links to images/pictures is built into the free demo.
