MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Recovering Spreadsheet data from linked source
Can someone help me? I am trying to help a friend recover some of the 12 years of data he lost when his hard drive crashed. Does anyone know how you can copy an excel workbook out of a source file in Powerpoint? Meaning he had pasted a link to a chart in this powerpoint file and when you double click on the chart you can see the source data. Does anyone know any way to copy all of that out at once? The only thing I can think of is to copy each of the spreadsheets and then just rebuild the charts from the new spreadsheets. Any ideas? Thanks! ShannaD, You might experiment with File > Save As Web Page > Web Page. This will break out all of the individual files involved in the presentation. Otherwize you are best off doing as you've described (copy/paste/rebuild).  SignaturePowerPoint Responsibly Sandy Johnson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist (MOS PowerPoint) > Can someone help me?

There'll be a menu item named something like "Excel object". Choose that and from the flyout menu, choose Open. It will open in Excel. From there you can save the workbook as you would any Excel file. That should give you the entire Excel file, too. Good luck! ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
