hyperlink updates
We can hyperlink dwg files back to the original path. My question is does
that mean that if i update the original file (i.e: remove a line or at a box) will the hyperlink image in the PPT presentation also update? or do i have to copy in the new drawing.. |

It depends on how you insert the drawing. If you use Insert Picture
From File there is no update. It's just another image. However if you drag and drop it on the slide it will be updated each time you restart the presentation. However there is a gotcha, (always is). Doing it this way will cause the presentation to REALLY grow in size because you are creating an OEL link. (Some of the original application get's placed into the presentation.)

My question is does that mean that if i update the original file (i.e: remove a line or at a box) will the hyperlink image in the PPT presentation also update? or do i have to copy in the new drawing.. If you use Insert, Picture, From File and then click the little arrow button thing next to the OK button and choose Link, it sets up a link to the original image file. PowerPoint will update the image from that file each time you open the presentation, so if the drawing's changed, so will the PPT slide the drawing's been added to. If you need to move the whole works around from computer to computer, you'll find it quite difficult as the links break in the breeze raised by every butterfly that passes within a four-state radius. The free demo version of FixLinks at http://fixlinks.pptools.com helps make the links more butterflyproof. g ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
