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.
