I'm paste linking a portion of an Excel 2002 spreadsheet into a PowerPoint
2002 presentation. Everything goes fine with the links but if I copy the
files together to a different location the links don't seem to be relative -
it points back to the original location. I know I've done this successfully
a few months ago but can't for the life of me figure out why it's not
working. Anyone know a trick I'm missing?
 
The trick is to have any file you are going to link in the same folder as
the PowerPoint presentation before you link it. Then wherever you move the
files (maybe onto a CD), it will still stay "linked".
