PowerPoint fan!

I am trying to insert two cells from an excel sheet into a PowerPoint
presentation. These two cells are updated regularly in the original excel
sheet. What I would like to do is: to display the contents of these two
cells during the PowerPoint show, switch to excel, make changes to the two
cells then switch back to PowerPoint, resume the PowerPoint show to display
the new contents of the two cells. Is this possible?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Select your 2 cells in Excel and select Edit-Copy. Then go to your
powerpoint presentation and choose Edit-Paste special-Paste link. This
should do this.

In some complex situations this will not work. In that case you could have a
look at www.take-off.as/datapoint

Regards,
Kurt
