Hi XXXXXXXXXX,

Thank you for the question. This can be done easily using Excel, however Powerpoint does not contain the External Data viewer without first embedding an Excel spreadsheet in to the presentation. Would it help to show how this can be done using Excel, and then you can insert the workseets in to your Powerpoint presentation? Here is a spreadsheet that will populate the spreadsheet with data based on the stock symbols you enter in cell C6. You can also add this to a single spreadsheet or workbook using the URL in this format if you want to get just a single quote.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I will be happy to assist further. Thanks again!

Dear C.S.

Good spreadsheet. It's worth the $14, so I'll accept. Havent' worked with sheets for a long time, but I should be able to figure it out ok.

However, what I was really hoping for was to be able to display the CNN/Money web site (or others') displays one after another with just a keypress. Any ideas? I guess I can just have a "favorites" tab and do it that way. Thanks for your help.
