SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 3.0 and later 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. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
