MOD2000: Word and PowerPoint Files Are Not Scanned for Dependencies (258481)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office 2000 Developer
This article was previously published under Q258481

SYMPTOMS

On the Included Files page of the Package and Deployment Wizard, in addition to the Main Project file, you can add a Microsoft Word document (.doc) or a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (.ppt) file to the package. If that secondary Word or PowerPoint file contains references to other files (DLLs, ActiveX Controls, Type Libraries, and so on), the wizard prompts you to scan for dependencies. However, no dependencies are detected, and any files that are referenced by the Word or PowerPoint file are not added to the package.

NOTE: These symptoms occur when you add a PowerPoint presentation to a Package that you create from the Visual Basic Editor of any Microsoft Office application, with the exception of Microsoft PowerPoint. When you add a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to a Package that you create in Microsoft PowerPoint, you see different symptoms.
