I know how to insert an embedded object that is linked to a speadsheet file in PowerPoint. Is there a way to embed an object that is linked to a list in SharePoint 2007 in a similar fashion?

You're talking about using the list as a data source of sorts, similar to linking to a spreadsheet. The answer is "not easily". You will need to: Have Excel Services installed, configured and working. (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/demo-enable-excel-services-and-data-connections-for-a-sharepoint-team-site-HA010207890.aspx) Have Business Data Catalog installed, configured and working. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb410048%28office.12%29.aspx) Expose the SharePoint list via BDC as a data column within and Excel Workbook. Link to the Excel workbook from PowerPoint. I trust that answers your question... Thanks C http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog
