Default linking a multiple paged Excel spreadsheet in PowerPoint

I have a dynamically updated Excel spreadsheet that is
included in a PowerPoint presentation. To try to make the
spreadsheet "look like" the page formatting of the
PowerPoint (colors, titles, etc.) I used the "publish as
web page" option for saving the spreadsheet. I can then
go in and edit the web page to use the colors, background
image, titles, fonts, etc. to match the PowerPoint slides
but as soon as I update the spreadsheet and republish
(autorepublish) it, I loose all of my page formatting.

It seems like there should be a "target" link on the web
page that can be referenced so it only replaces the
spreadsheet location of the page instead of replacing the
whole web page. If you don't do a "replace" the
autorepublish just appends the updated shreadsheet to the
end of the web page., ie. I would then have 2,3,4, and so
on copies of the spreadsheet on the single published web
page. I need to maintain the functionality of the
spreadsheet within the presentation.

I also just put a link in the PowerPoint presentation to
load the Excel spreadsheet but Excel does not allow a lot
of the page formatting available in other MS Office
applications -- not to mention limited font color
selection in Excel. -- I know too conscientious...

This is an internal corporate level presentation so the
data needs to be as current as possible.

Hi Kris,
If your presentation needs to be "as current as possible" you have to look
at www.take-off.as/datapoint
Good luck
