PPT97: Macro Recorder Doesn't Record Activating Placeholder

RESOLUTION

Your macro contains the correct code to add an OLE object if you use one of the following methods to add the OLE object while recording the macro.

Method 1: Use the Buttons on the Toolbar to Insert the OLE Object

There are buttons on the Standard toolbar to insert Microsoft Word Tables, Microsoft Excel Worksheets, Charts, and Clip Art objects.

Method 2: Use the Insert Object Command

1. On the Insert menu, click Object.
2. Click the type of object you want on the Object Type list.
3. Click OK to insert the object.

Both of these methods work because they only add an OLE object to your slide; they do not convert an existing drawing object to an OLE object.
