Hello,

I have an Excel 2007 workbook and I'm taking a range of cells copying them
and when I try to Paste Link in Powerpoint 2007 nothing happens. I just get
a regular paste. I don't get any error messages It just gives me a static
copy.

Any ideas what could cause this?
 
1st - are you current with updates and patches for MS Office?
2nd - you are blocking/selecting the cells you wish to link? and then copying
3rd - are you using the drop down to access PASTE-SPECIAL and then selecting
the PASTE LINK option (which leaves only "Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet
Object" in the box as options)

I was having issues with linking, but after I applied all updates and SP1,
things got better. There are still some serious issues with linking CHARTS,
but I was able to easily paste-link a range of cells from a spreadsheet
successfully.
