5. Link PowerPoint to Word.

What we did in the previous steps is to embed a PowerPoint presentation in a Word document.

The inserted presentation is then static.

What does it mean that it does not change if changes are made to the PowerPoint document afterwards.

If you want your embedded PowerPoint presentation to adapt dynamically with the changes to the source file,
then simply activate the “Link” control field when inserting the file.
