Hi, guys! Does anyone know if there is a way to have updates made to powerpoint slides automatically update the instance of the slide that was imported into Word without having to re-import it? BTW, we're running Office 2K Pro on W2K Pro platforms...

Thanks, Mike
 
It is my opinion, that the code to affect this would be uglier than manual updating.

The code would need to:

In PowerPoint...
Check for updates to any PowerPoint slide
Create new miniatures to a directory
In Word ...
Determine if slides have shifted (from a new insert or deletion)
Import the new miniature.


Ugly, ugly, ugly.
 
There is no "paste link" when copying PowerPoint slides.

The only way I can see is using HalfListener's suggestion of code. A little more specifically:

Code would have to save each slide as a graphic.
The graphics can be inserted into Word as a link.

This would auto-update the picture in Word, but ONLY if graphics are inserted as links.

Why aren't you using Notes pages in PowerPoint instead of Word?
