Attention

In office 2013, when you insert an object by using a link, the object is not actually placed in the target document, and the inserted document is just a shortcut to the object. The advantage of using this approach is that it doesn't increase the size of the document, and when you make changes to the linked file, the target document will reflect that change in time, without having to reinsert the document once. Note, however, that if you change the location of the linked file store, you will no longer be able to open the linked file in the target document.

4. When you click OK to close the Objects dialog box, the presentation is inserted into the worksheet as a linked file and is displayed as an icon, as shown in Figure 4. Double-clicking the presentation icon will show the presentation.
