Linking an Excel File to Powerpoint issues

[tech_boy]

Hi guys,

I've got an Excel spreadsheet that is running a macro updating it every 15 seconds. The macro looks at one workbook then updates the numbers in the second workbook every 15 seconds.

If I use the "Paste Special" method to paste this automatically updating workbook into MS Powerpoint, will the refresh macro continue to run when powerpoint is running its presentation?

Thanks.

Wouldn't be easier and faster to know the answer by actually RUNning the presentation and see what happens?

If I were you i would check your google, it does appear like broken.
