This article was previously published under Q189703
SYMPTOMS
You can embed one presentation within another in Microsoft PowerPoint.
If you use Meeting Minder to record Action Items or Meeting Minutes while
in an embedded presentation, that information is not written to the Action
Items or Meeting Minutes slides that are generated at the end of the main
presentation.
CAUSE
When you show an embedded presentation object, you are playing it. In
PowerPoint, you cannot change an embedded OLE object at the same time
you play it. Therefore, you cannot add or change slides to an embedded
presentation while it is being shown.
WORKAROUND
Use Meeting Minder when you are in the main portion of a presentation; do
not use it when you are in an embedded presentation.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
