PPT: Embedded OLE Object Won't Update in Branched Presentation (134461)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q134461 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 Tools menu, click Animation Settings.
- In the Play Options list, click Edit or Open.
If you run the slide show, you can now edit the OLE object while in
Slide Show view, and the updates are reflected in the object.
If, however, you insert a PowerPoint presentation object into a
PowerPoint presentation and insert an OLE object into that embedded
presentation object, it does not update while you are in Slide Show
view.
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.
