I have linked an Excel worksheet to Publisher, but when I sent both files to someone else the links no longer work and Publisher gives an error essentially stating the links are not valid.

Can I do anything within Publisher to fix this? I was thinking of embedding the actual Excel workbook in Publisher, but could not get that to work.

Thank you.
