Shutting off Powerpoint Links

[Mark Andrews]

I have a PowerPoint presentation with over 100 links to an excel spreadsheet. I have finished updating the file and want to send it out. How can I shut off the screen that comes up and asks "file contains links - do you want to update"?

Thanks

Mark,
You can set the links to manual update

or you can break the OLE links

Hello:

From the doc http://skp.mvps.org/ppt00029.htm
is it possible to break all the links in the .ppt without having to manually
click on each one to do so? I.o.w., what is the easiest way to make a static
copy of my existing auto-linked .ppt? While I would like to keep the
existing auto-linked .ppt as is since it will auto-update at a certain
frequency from an external program, I would also like to keep static copy of
each version for record.
An anology would be in Excel, it is possible to copy sheets statically
without copying the links embedded in the sheets. Do we have similar
functionality for .ppt?

Thank you!
