SYMPTOMS
When you click Paste Special on the Edit menu, the Embedded option is not
present.
CAUSE
The Embedded option will not appear in the Paste Special dialog box if
either of the following conditions is true:
- The application that the object or text was copied from may not support
object linking and embedding (OLE). If so, PowerPoint cannot embed
the object or text into a presentation.
-or-
- The OLE capabilities may be disabled in PowerPoint. Check to ensure that
the Shared Code Manager and associated files are located in the
Extensions folder.
NOTE: To determine if OLE is installed properly run Microsoft Graph. If
Graph does not run, OLE is probably not installed correctly. Try re-
installing PowerPoint.
RESOLUTION
Method 1: If the Application the Text Was Copied from Doesn't Support OLE
In the Paste Special dialog box, select Picture or Text to paste the
contents of the Clipboard.
Method 2: If OLE is not installed properly
Rerun the PowerPoint Setup program in Maintenance Mode and click Reinstall.
