<h3>How do I create a chart in a spreadsheet that is
automatically updated when the data is changed?</h3>
<p> Follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>From the pull down menus, select: <b>Tools &gt; Options</b>.</li>
<li>In the left column of the dialog that appears, select: <b>Spreadsheet
&gt; General</b>. </li>
<li>On the page that appears, in the Updating section under <b>Update
links when opening</b>, click the checkbox next to <b>Always</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Note:</b> This is a global setting and will affect all
spreadsheet charts and linked information from spreadsheets. If this is
not desirable, click the checkbox next to <b>On request</b>. With this
selected, a dialog box will pop up when each file with links to a
spreadsheet is opened, where you can choose whether or not to update
the item with newer information from the linked spreadsheet.</p>
