Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR6 , v7.5885
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Hello everybody,
I am trying to include Origin 7.5 graphs in Powerpoint 2007, using the link option (that is when I double click the graph image in PowerPoint, Origin opens the original project the graph came from). Inserting the graph and reediting in Origin 7.5 seems to work, but onece I close the ppt file and try to reopen it, Powerpoint freezes (this happened both if I choose or not for the "Update links to files" option when powerpoint opens.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Larry,
Thank you.
Indeed, if this feature worked fully (I mean inserting graph from Origin projects, with a link) it would be great. I am doing experiments where I analyze data in Origin, and then I would like to drop a graph in powepoint and keep track of all the changes and for me this would be ideal.
Just a mentionning: I am actually using WinXP Pro, not Vista

Hi Adrian:
Since the new Office (and Vista) change the structure a lot, there are many compatibility problems. I will talk with our developers to see whether there is a solution. May be you should wait for some time.
Thanks

Thanks Larry,
The reason why I want to link the file is that changes to the graph can then be done both in Origin (where I can update for examle the data, add other plots, etc) and in ppt (where it might be useful to change the appearance of the graph.

May be you can Copy and Paste the graph directly? Please don't use the "Paste Special" option.
Thanks

Thanks Greg,
I will then try it like this.
Actually I managed to open it at some point after a lot o fwaiting on a good computer and I managed to set all the links update to manual, but it still did not improve things a lot.
How do you insert then the OGG exactly?

You should NOT insert from an OPJ (Project) file. Instead, in Origin do a Save Window As on your graph and save as an OGG file. You can insert your OGG into Powerpoint and you should not have any problem.
