My daughter is taking an online college course. She has created a powerpoint presentation "A." Now she required to create a second presentation "B" that has "A" embedded...NOT LINKED...so that her instructor can read it from her computer.

Help.

More specific detail if you will...

Do you mean actually embedding one PPt file in another as an embedded object
or do you mean adding the slides from one file as slides in another?

Hi,

PowerPoint does not allow you to embed one presentation within another
using the OLE embed feature.

It seems to me that it would be far more sensible to use the Custom Show
feature. This lets you take a large presentation and make individual
presentations that are subsets of the entirety.

Check out the Slide Show menu and look for Custom Shows.

-Jim

Too lazy to fire up the Mac and check, so I'll just ask if you can do either of:

- Insert Object and create from file, pick a PPT file

- Drag an existing PPT file icon onto a slide

Either works in the Windows version to embed a PPT into another PPT.

I tried the Insert ... choose file. I get the message "The server application,
source file, or item cannot be found. check that the path and file name
are correct, or try reinstalling the server application." The file is
on my desktop.




thanks! (I'm the daughter)

But neither works in the Mac version Sad PPt files are not embeddable.

If you care to take the few minutes, use Help> Send Feedback to support the
feature in the data bank monitored by MacBu.

"But neither works in the Mac version PPt files are not embeddable."

That's what we have decided! Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice if the mac versions were more compatible with the PC versions, but Microsoft is not like Burger King: "Have it OUR way."

I'm sure. But like linking, there are so many ways of going about it, and they
behave in so many ways, I was just tossing in a few other ways of trying it to
see if they'd float.

Like lead. Sigh.
