OLE Help!

[Trogan]

I need to link an Excel spreadsheet and a PowerPoint presentation into Word. Can someone explain how to do this please?

Any help would be appreciated! :)

I'm not an expert, but here's how I link files :)

Have cursor at the place where you want your spreadsheet/presentation then

Using Standard Toolbar

Insert - Object --then choose

Create from file Tab --then

Browse for file + tick Link to file

click OK

In word document repeat all of the above for the other object.

Once the objects are in place

Using Standard Toolbar

Edit - Links

Highlight the source file (s) and set the update method for each.

Hope this helps

Worked perfectly! Thank you for the detailed instructions, Kentigern. :)

The spreadsheet should update within the doc either manually or auto depending on your setting.
You need to double-click on the presentation to run it, and use a right-click mouse menu to close during run or for other commands.
