Breaking Links-Lost Animation
PowerPoint 2007
I have a ppt file that links to Excel. It is a good amount of animation, which works when the files are linked. When I break the links to take the ppt show on the road; the animation is all lost after the links are broke. Anyone have a fix, work-around or experience with this problem.

And have you tried changing the links to Manual update instead? That might be enough to suit your needs on the road but prevent the animation from getting lost. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================

Breaking Links-Lost Animation
I go to the Office Button, Prepare, Edit Links, Highlight the Links and break
them. This is done, so the presentation can be used on another PC without it trying to update the links, so the manual update would not change anything. The links update fine.

Breaking the link converts the excel object into a picture (and apparently loses any animation properties in the process). Bug, I'd say. This is done, so the presentation can be used on another PC without it trying to update the links, so the manual update would not change anything. Understood. It *should* work the way you want if you set them to manual. If they're set to manual, PPT won't try to update them unless you explicitly force it to. Um. That's the theory, anyhow ... 2007 seems to have an issue or two in this department and perhaps this is one of 'em. Have you tried setting links to manual and had PPT update regardless? The links update fine. "Steve Rindsberg" wrote: In article , Chrisp wrote: PowerPoint 2007 I have a ppt file that links to Excel.
