Create an updatable link from within Writer to a Calc Chart?
Because my original question seems to have been unclear to experienced users, I am once again asking it, but with revisions rendering it more clear. Thank you to the people who responded the first time.
Context: 1. I have a Writer document; 2. I have a Calc document (spreadsheet); 3. Within the Calc document is a chart; 4. The chart is created from data in that same spreadsheet.
Desired outcome: 1. Insert into the Writer document the chart in the Calc document; 2. The inserted chart is to possess two qualities: a. It is to be linked to the Calc document; b. Updates made in the Calc document appear also in the Writer document.
Process outlined in LibreOffice user guides: 1. Perform these steps in Writer: Insert->Object->OLE object->Create from file->Link to file->Search->(select target file)->Open->OK
Discussion: At no step in this process is a Calc chart defined as an entity. At no point is such an entity identified as an OLE candidate to be inserted, linked, and possessed of the quality of updatablility in a Writer document. The Writer Insert ->...->...->...-> OK process selects a file. At no point in the Writer Insert process are there instuctions or options allowing selection of an entity (the Calc chart) in the Calc document.
Question: What do I need to do so that the Writer Insert -> link to file -> Search -> OK series of commands results in: 1. A Calc chart in a Writer document that a. Is identifiable from within Writer using the Insert Object...OK command series as an OLE candidate; b. Is selectable using the Writer Insert Object...OK command series; c. Is inked, once inserted in the Writer documenrt, to the source Calc document; and d. Can be updated in Calc so that the updates also appear in Writer.
In other words, how do I insert a defined Calc entity such as a chart into a Writer document as a linked, updatable OLE object?
I hope the question is now clear.
Thanks for your insights and instructions.
Please don't create 5-line-monster-subjects.
Concise clear subject, then thoroughly explaining content.
The question seems to be as simple as:
"Is it possible to create a link from a presentation slide to a chart in Calc, so that it would update dynamically as Calc data gets modified"...
Lupp is right. First time users such as I was ought to be more careful to differentiate between the question title area and the question text area. A 5-line-monster-subject is sure to irritate. My apologies for the error.
Mr. Kaganski is correct in all but one detail, although it may be unimportant. Writer, not Impress, is the module I want to use to create the updatable link to the object, which here I define as an existing Calc chart in an existing Calc spreadsheet. Because my description of the issue seems not to have been clear, I shall restate the question and, of course, avoid a 5-line-monster-subject. Thank you for responding, Mr. Kaganski.
