Hi Bonnie
Is there a way to link a PowerPoint file to Word so that each slide is
visible in the Word printout and any changes made in one file show in the
other file.
I don't know any way, over the UI, to insert all slides from a PPT file,
as links, in one go. That doesn't mean much, and especially the PPT
cracks might know more (there's a "Send to Word" command in PPT, but I
doubt it can be tricked to create links).
The manual way in Word is to insert each slide separately as a link. I
usually select the slide in the slide sorter or in the left slide area
in PPT, copy, and use paste/special, as link, in Word.
Automating this through Word-VBA might be possible. Almost easier is to
save the PPT file as WMF. You'll end up with a folder full of numbered
slides. Inserting these as links in Word is easier and can be fully
(VBA) or semi-automated (SEQ in INCLUDEPICTRE field).
