hi all,

So I've been given a fairly graph and data heavy .ppt, all of which was linked from an external spreadsheet which, alas, is now no more.

The problem:
As the data is no more, I appear only able to save the graphs as pictures (dooming them to a dodgy background), or have them in a semi-editable form that then complains the linked data can't be found.

What I'm after...
One of two outcomes would be great.

- If I can get the graphs back into a fully mutable format (colour changes and re-labled) that'd be ace!

- Similarly, if I could actually get the stored data out of them that'd be even better!

Now the data must surely be in there somewhere, or how is powerpoint drawing the graphs I see.

I'd appreciate any ideas, be those that involve the simple button i'm probably simply overlooking or some clever hackery to dig out my data!

Many thanks in advance!
