Objects within Power Point

[Pat Convey]

Hello Folks,

I am currently working on a power point presentation and I have inserted a
couple of objects that appear as a word icons (actual word documents) and
have I have used the following process.

Insert / Object / Create from file / browse (selected req document) /
Display as Icon / then inserted a new document name using the 'change Icon'
function.

When I view the presentation, the icons work and the documents open up
nicely BUT when I save the presentation as a show, the icons do not open the
document associated with it.

I sure I'm missing something here as I've seen this work by documents
created by other users.

Hope someone can help.

Many thanks in advance,

Pat Convey.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

The icon works fine whilst looking at it in the slide view. It's when you
save the presentation as a show (so when opened it plays automatically), that
the icon acts like a picture. Non responsive. When you click on trhe word
iconthat now represents the document you want to open, nothing happens.

Regards

Pat Convey.

Hello Steve,

I'm a half wit. I misread your advice.

After following your instruction, the objects work fine when the powerpoint
presentation is saved as a show.

Many thanks for your time whilst anwering my query.
