Embed sharepoint task list into Powerpoint
Hi, Can someone please let me know if there's a way to embed a SP task list (or any custom list) in MS Powerpoint similarly the way you can link in Excel - similarly to linking a SP list as an external data source?

Not that I know of, but you can link Excel to PowerPoint. I do this for showing live-connected Excel graphs in PowerPoint, and the Excel graphs are tied to SharePoint list data.SharePoint Architect || My Blog

Thanks for the response. Yes, that was the only way I was able to possibly link Sharepoint list data to Powerpoint. However, I don't want a graph, I just want to list the tasks and statuses in my PPT that I need to present to management. This data is maintained in SP, but presentations are in PPT. Oh well, guess it's not possible. Thanks.

Sort of a tangent question to a question, but can you embed a Silverlight control within Powerpoint? If so, then the Silverlight control could pull data from a SharePoint list.

John, Can you elaborate on how you can use Silverlight (control). I am good with SharePoint and MS Office but haven't developed anything using Silverlight. Thanks
