SYMPTOMS
Microsoft PowerPoint can create two different types of OLE objects: Slide
objects and Presentation objects.
If you link an object of one type into an OLE container, you cannot use
the Convert command to convert the object type from one to the other.
If the object is simply embedded, instead of linked, then you can
convert between the two different object types.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at
the beginning of this article.
