MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Link
My colleague has sent me a powerpoint file. Whenever I open it prompts for link update. However there's in fact no link in the file. How can I remove the message "asking link update" when I open the file? Any ideas what caused the problem?  SignatureConnie Sounds like he sent you a presentation with a linked file in it, like Excel, and forgot to take the link out. Just go to Edit>Links, and you can delete the link.

I have gone thru the whole file, there's no link there. When I have the file open, I go to "File | Properties | the tab Content | it shows the file has a Link to Content which links to her local drive.

Have you tried going to the menu bar, clicking Edit and looking for the word Links? That'll give you a dialog box where you can select the link and click the Break Link button.

However there's nothing in there, the dialogue box is empty. I did also use VBA to find link in the document and the result is none.
