Check that it isn't an embedded object (double-click, making sure PC has PPT
on it as well as Word and versions are the same). If it isn't, reproduce it
in Word. All newer Office programs use the same drawing and diagram tools.
Next time paste as embedded object not a picture!

Subject: FN-FORUM: Editing powerpoint slide woes



Morning all again,

Righ someone has come to me with a problem I can't seem to solve. They
were working on a powerpoint presentation, and created a number of
boxes (sort of a flow chart) on one of the slides. They then
apparently copied the Slide and pasted it into word, and then (here's
the genius) deleted the slide in powerpoint.
What they are left with is an image in Word they can no longer edit
(the image is like all the text boxes etc merged and uneditable) and a
blank slide in powerpoint.

Any ways to revert this... or editing in word, or recovering it at all?

Thanks

D
