Once upon a time I used the evil Microsoft Office and would use the

Having learned the error of my ways, I'm now using Open Office and
would like to do the same thing. I've been experimenting with it,
but so far haven't figured out exactly how to do it. I want the
links to update in a predetermined format.
Any help or 'pointing to the right direction' would be
appreciated. I don't mind figuring it out, but I just haven't found
the right documentation so far.
o In Impress, go to Insert | Object > | OLE Object... . (That's
"Object Linking and Embedding".)
o Select "Create from file" and "OpenOffice.org 3.2 Spreadsheet".
o Tick "Link to file" and click Search... .
o Browse to your spreadsheet document.
You'll be able to work it out from there.
I trust this helps.
