PowerPoint Links 1

[fuzzernet]

Is there anyway to have PowerPoint update links automatically? Not the so-called automatic option you get where you still have to click update links. I want to be able to run a pps file and have the links updated without user interaction.

TIA

fuzzernet,

Normally powerpoint will only update the links when you first open a file.

This add-in will update the links everytime it's "asked for"

Thanks for the link. I if I can get it to work it will do what I need. Whenever I run the pps it never seems to run the add-in and the link never updates. I am using powerpoint XP.
