How to Link an Excel 2007 Chart to a PowerPoint 2007
Included in the Office 2007 suite of productivity software, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 allows you to create slide-based presentations that can be displayed on a computer screen, on a projector or printed in hard-copy form. Instead of forcing you to generate and insert an image of your Excel 2007 charts, PowerPoint simplifies the process through its built-in "Link" feature. Because the software is tightly integrated with other Office products, linking an Excel 2007 chart to your PowerPoint presentation requires just a few clicks.
