"Edit Text" Menu Item

[Steelwire]

I'm trying to create a graphics file (tried to create a wmf, but any vector
graphics format would do), which would expose the "Edit Text" menu item, when
added as a Clip Art to a PowerPoint slide. Many of the Clip Art wmf files
that ship with PowerPoint expose the "Edit Text" menu item, when
right-clicking the image on a slide (eg. ?). Nevertheless, none of the wmf
files that I have created (with several applications) expose the "Edit Text"
menu item. I need to create files, because they will be distributed to users
(together with other files), who will then add the images to their slides -
just like the Clip Art images that ships with PowerPoint.

BD18204_.wmf is a file that ships with PowerPoint and exposes the "Edit Text"
menu. So far, we've tried with PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2007.

On my box, it's at C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\MEDIA\OFFICE12\AutoShap\BD18204_.wmf, but most (if not all) of the
files in that directory expose the "Edit Text" menu.

That's what we've tried to do, but it seems this "extra data" is in some
undocumented format (we haven't been able to access it using the Win32 API
wmf functions), so we haven't been able to add it to wmf files we've created
ourselves. Nor have we found any application that's capable of creating wmf
files that expose the "Edit Text" menu item.

Might be. Might also be that the MS Office Drawing format would allow to add
the "Edit Text" behavior to image files - are you aware of any apps that
create/edit MS Office Drawing format images and allow saving them to files?

Absolutely, but I just haven't found any app that would save MS Office
Drawing format files...
