MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006Excel worksheet ---> PPT (V. 2003) paste link feature
Can someone point me to some articles, tutorial etc. for the captioned subject please? In PPT **normal view**, as soon as I click on the excel object/table, I am brought to the original excel worksheet and I can edit the numbers etc. Is it true that in **slide show view** there is no way to manipulate the numbers? I am thinking of demonstrating some scenarios suggested by the attendees of a meeting during a slide show. Am I asking for the impossible? Someone told me I could do it with three slides. No idea what he was taking about. I guess I can do ctrl+T during the slide show and switch to Excel and do the demonstration under Excel. Appreciate advice. > Can someone point me to some articles, tutorial etc. for the captioned > subject please?

But you could try including an action setting that hyperlinks to the file that you've linked to on the slide. Click it to open the linked file, make your edits. But if I recall correctly PPT won't update the slide with the edited information until you update the link manually (which you can only do via macros or in normal view). So I guess the answer is "there's no way". At least not w/o third party tools. > I am thinking of demonstrating some scenarios suggested by the attendees of > a meeting during a slide show.

When the worksheet is displayed on screen (slide show mode), I can do alt+tab to go back to normal view. Then I just click on the object. This should bring me to the original Excel worksheet. I can manipulate the numbers there. I even have a choice not to save the edited numbers. What do you think? Any drawbacks?
