PPT: New Window Opened When Inserted Object Activated (143017)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q143017 SYMPTOMS
When you use Graph, Organization Chart, Equation Editor, or WordArt
to insert an object into a PowerPoint presentation, and you set the
object's animation settings to Build and Edit, you cannot activate the
object for in-place editing while running a slide show. Instead,
PowerPoint opens the object in a separate window.
CAUSE
In PowerPoint, when you activate an OLE object to edit it, the toolbars
and menus change to those of the program that provided the OLE object.
Therefore, if you edit an embedded Word table, the PowerPoint menus and
toolbars are temporarily replaced by the Word menus and toolbars.
When you run a slide show, PowerPoint suppresses its menus and toolbars;
they are therefore not available to be replaced. The program responsible
for editing the OLE object opens its own window that can display menus
and toolbars.
