- The OLE capabilities may be disabled in PowerPoint. Check to ensure that
the Shared Code Manager and associated files are located in the
Extensions folder.
NOTE: To determine if OLE is installed properly run Microsoft Graph. If
Graph does not run, OLE is probably not installed correctly. Try re-
installing PowerPoint.
