Issue With PPT Linked Excel Table (When Using RD)

Do you see this same behaviour when you open Remote Desktop in external mode?

I have not tried external mode yet. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. Thank you for the idea.

Please pardon my lack of Remote Desktop skills. How do I open Remote Desktop in external mode? I have searched for other blogs on how to do this and am unable to get it to work. I have a Remote Desktop icon on my Desktop, and that is what I use to access my computer at work. I do not know how to open this link in external mode.

Hi,

You can change the display property inside your session.

Please have a look at http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/settings_general_displaymode.htm

Best regards,

Thank you for the help. I realized that I just had a remote desktop connection link. I needed to download Remote Desktop Manager. Doing so now and am going to try External Mode to see if this helps. Remote Desktop works very well, except for this one issue with Excel tables linked in PowerPoint.

Ok, I've finally been able to try External Mode. The result is the same as before when I was just using the Remote Desktop link that IT sent me. This time, I downloaded Remote Desktop Manager, dragged in the RDU link, and opened it in External Mode.

Outcome when I'm sitting at my computer:

Does anyone have another suggestion to remedy the issue? It only occurs while logged in remotely. If I'm sitting at my computer at the office or if I have my laptop with me at home (logged in through the VPN), the linking of Excel tables looks fine in PowerPoint.

Thank you for everyone's help.
