PowerPoint 2.0 Only Recognizes First 20 [Embedding] Entries PSS ID Number: Q116290 Article last modified on 09-15-1994 PSS database name: POWERPT

2.00 WINDOWS

= SUMMARY =

If you have more than 20 entries in the [Embedding] section of your WIN.INI file, Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 2.0, will only recognized the first 20 entries. Any additional entries will be ignored and not listed in the Insert sub-menu in PowerPoint.

= WORKAROUND =

Arrange the entries in the [Embedding] section so that the objects you want to use in PowerPoint are among the first 20 entries in the section. The next time that you start PowerPoint, the changes will be reflected in the Insert sub-menu.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This problem does not occur in later versions of PowerPoint since they utilize the Registration Database (REG.DAT) to access objects, instead of the [Embedding] section.
