I'm new to Powerpoint and can't quite understand the other posts.

I want to enter my financial totals into an excel spreadsheet, have it link
to graphs in Powerpoint. Each month I would change the Excel data and have
the graphs automatically update. I need 4 pie graphs to display totals of 8
categories and 2 bar graphs that will compare actual to budget figures in 6
categories. I'll also need 1 slide that looks like Excel to summarize an
Excel spreadsheet.

It seems some users are somehow keeping the excel data inside powerpoint so
there isn't a need for 2 files.

I'm open to using the easiest method for updating. Just need the basic
steps. Thanks to all who can help.
 
oops! 2007

Steve, the pptfaq site was very helpful. I want to link the excel file but I
can't figure out how to do it in 2007. Thanks.
