Hello, I've been asked to set up a real-time link between Excel and paste-linked Powerpoint data. The first time I paste-linked Excel data into Powerpoint, the data updated automatically when I changed the data in Excel. However, after saving, closing both applications, moving the files to a different location and re-linking the data, Powerpoint data would not update immediately when I changed the corresponding data in Excel. Only after clicking "Update now" button on the "Links" menu would they update. Is there a way of linking the data so that they automatically update real-time?
