I am preparing an art/pottery inventory that I am hoping will be useful for a
number of purposes. I am using Powerpoint for various reasons (after failing
with Word because of the math limitations, Access because of the
attachment/link limitations, and Excel because I was unable to lock photos in
cells and the size/row height was an issue).

So I have jpg files that will be placed on my slides. The I have a link on
each slide which is from an Excel file using copy, paste special, link. This
all works fine. My Excel file contains things like the acquisition date, the
acquisiont $$, the most recent appraised date, the appraised $$, unrealized
gain, etc. When I use this presentation for the insurance company, I would
want to show all this information. However, if I wish to share with a
discussion group my pottery collection, I would want to hide the information
linked from my Excel file. How can I do that? HELP!

Or, if someone has a better approach I would be interested in hearing that.
Each slide may contain 5 or so jpg's of the piece so Powerpoint really works
well for that.
 
Jeanne,

I would suggest setting up a "Custom Show" with duplicate slides sans the
data. That way you can pick what you want to share in different situations.
