Linking to Web graphics

Quattro Pro lets you insert Web graphics into a spreadsheet by dragging them from your Web browser. When you drag a graphic from the browser to a spreadsheet, you create a link to that graphic that is similar to a hyperlink. For information about hyperlinks, see “To insert a hyperlink.”

You can also create a live image link to dynamic graphics on the Internet. Live image links are updated automatically at set refresh intervals. For example, if you create a live image link to a dynamic weather map, Quattro Pro displays the weather map as a graphic on the spreadsheet and updates the graphic with weather changes at specified refresh intervals.

Live image links work in conjunction with the settings in the Windows Control Panel of your desktop. Before creating a live image link, you must change your temporary Internet file settings to check for newer versions of stored pages on every visit to the page.
