Hi there,
So maybe DDE link just doesn’t have this functionality? It sure would be great to paste a link so that updating the Calc file would update the Writer file…and still have the formatting of the cells. But the cell merges, the borders, the bold…they all disappear. The pasted graph looks terrible and is less readable.
I tried to upload images but the forum won’t let me. 
Thanks for any help you can provide.
