Linking Excel With Powerpoint

In class today, we learned how to link objects in excel to a powerpoint or a word document. Once you save the excel file, you go to powerpoint and go to Insert>Object. There you check the select from file and browse for the excel file. You have to check the box that says Link because you are linking the two documents. If you insert excel objects this way, then if you update the information in your excel file it automatically updates it in the chart in Powerpoint.
