powerpoint >> Edit Links to Files Command

I have broken links, it seems, to Excel charts in my presentation. The program nicely tells me to fix them using this command, which for the life of me does not seem to exist in PowerPoint on the Mac. Can anyone show me how I'm being an idiot?

1. Edit links command

I've got a PP 2007 presentation with a number of linked Excel Charts in it. 
SOme of these links have gone bad .  When I right-click and select "Edit 
Data".  I get an errorr that says:"The linked File is Not avaialble. Use the 
Edit Links command to find the file"

Where is this command????  I must be blind but I can't find it anywhere.

I'm changing to Vista and the old Powerpoint allowed you to change the source 
file for links form Excel or other programs. I can't find where you edit the 
links in Vista.

5. Edit Links to Files Powerpoint 2007

I have a couple of Powerpoint presentations with graphs where the data is 
linked to an Excel spreadsheet. At one point when I opened the presentation I 
received a message (Microsoft Office Powerpoint Security Notice) asking if I 
want to update the links. Now however, not only do I not receive the message 
allowing me to update the links, but the Edit Links to files option has 
disappeared from my Office menu. I can update the graphs by opening each one 
individually (if the Excel file is open) but I have a few hundred slide to 
update on a regular basis and would like to have it automated (again) 
Anyone have any suggestions? 
Both the Excel and Powerpoint file are in the same folder on the C Drive

Greetings!

Can you help me please to find out how to launch a field editor?

In Word 2003 there's a "Edit field" shortcut menu item.
