[Solved] Importing refreshing Calc-Diagrams into Writer

[stephang]

Hi there,

I want to integrate OO-Calc-Diagramms (on the basis of a table) into OO-Writer. I know how to copy calc-tables and diagramms via copy/paste but this does not solve my problem: I need the diagramms to be automatically refreshed when the data of the table is changed.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you very much.

Will Paste Special > DDE Link work?

[stephang]

it helps ...

Paste special/DDE Link does only work for a self-refreshing spreadsheet but not for its chart.

After all, I can link the spreedsheat into the writer-document and than create a writer chart on that table, now. But the chart needs an additional click to update from an automatically updated spreadsheet.

It is not what I hoped for, but you helped me to safe lots of time.

Thanx from Germany.

Is there a more up to date solution here?

I am trying to have a chart in writer that updates as its data in Calc changes.

In libreoffice 5.2 there is no option to paste-special DDE, the only options are Star Object, GDI metafile and bitmap.
