Hello-

I'm using Office 2010 and have a PPT file that is bringing in about 50 charts via OLE (linking) from an excel file.

In 2003, the update took a couple seconds. In 2010, it's taking over 5 minutes and some aren't updating: getting the error unavailable. While it's updating, excel keeps flashing and in the lower left, it says "Validating". What is this?

I've tried re-linking all the charts and it still does this. Any idea how to fix this? All the links are correct.

Thanks!

setup: office 2010, windows 7, everything up to date.
