Hi everyone,
Could anyone please tell me if content addins for Excel and Powerpoint support object linking? I can insert standard Excel charts via copy and paste as "Paste and Link Data". Can a similar insertion option also be activated for content addins? In my content addin I only have the options "Paste" and "Paste as Picture" and they behave exactly the same. My content addin is always pasted as a picture and does not update when you change the cell values in the original Excel file. I am especially interested in pasting a linked version of my Excel chart into PowerPoint.
I would appreciate your help so much...
