I have a large body of charts that I publish to my clients in Powerpoint. The data tables for each chart are created in Excel and then pasted into the Powerpoint pages using the pastelink function. Initially I was able to update the charts just by copying the Powerpoint file with all the links into a fresh Powerpoint file, but this is not acceptable to the client as the data does not refresh into the data tables, even though the charts update. So at the moment I manually need to double click each chart to force the refresh. I have 800 slides with 7 charts on each. so it takes me two days!!
To complicate matters, I am working on a machine with Powerpoint 2007, but with all the files saved as Powerpoint 2003 as the client preferred the embedded data tables rather than the 2007 style Excel sheets. Any assistance gratefully received!
