PPT2000: Embedded OLE Object Won't Update in Branched Presentation (197931)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q197931 SYMPTOMS
When you try to edit embedded OLE objects in an embedded (or branched)
PowerPoint presentation while in Slide Show view, the objects are not
updated.
If you insert an OLE object into a PowerPoint presentation, you can
edit that OLE object during a slide show by doing the following:
- Select the object.
- On the Slide Show menu, click Action Settings.
- Click Object Actions, and then click Edit or Open in the Object Action
list.
CAUSE
When you start an embedded PowerPoint presentation from a PowerPoint
slide show, you are playing it, not editing it. You cannot change an
object to edit mode while you are playing it. Because you cannot change
the embedded PowerPoint presentation while you are playing it, OLE
objects in the presentation will not update.
