Insert Slides from Files not working

[Sandip]

Hi All,

Users have reported that this feature is not working, when a user attempts
to use this feature nothing happens.

This works for users under the Administrators group but not for non-admins.

Thanks for your help and time.

Regards

Sandip

What happens when they try it? Do they get any message? What is the full and
exact message? Have you watch them trying it?

What version of PowerPoint?

Are both presentations on their hard drive, or on a network drive?

What limitations have been placed on their permissions?

Hi Sonia,

I have watched the users trying it.

Kind Regards

You must have a presentation open and visible to use Insert Slides from File.
Is the function grayed out? Or are you able to click on it? If so, the dialog
that appears looks pretty gray, but you must click on the Browse button to
locate the presentation. At what point is it "grayed out"?
