The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Macintosh, version 4.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you click Microsoft Word Table on the PowerPoint Insert menu, you receive a message similar to the following:

The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed.

= CAUSE =

This error occurs because you are running a version of Microsoft Word that is earlier than version 6.0. The Insert Microsoft Word Table command in PowerPoint 4.0 works only with Word 6.0 and later. Earlier versions of Word are not recognized by this command.

= RESOLUTION =

The following steps illustrate how to insert Word tables from Word version 5.1 into PowerPoint 4.0:


 * 1) On the Insert menu, click Object.
 * 2) From the list of choices, select Word Document and click OK. A Word 5.1 document window called Embedded Object #1 will appear.
 * 3) On the Insert menu, click Table.
 * 4) Format the table as desired.
 * 5) On the File menu, click Quit And Update. This closes Word and places the Word table into your PowerPoint document.
