 * }

Q135014

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
 * Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 4.0

-

SYMPTOMS
When you embed a Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 file into a Microsoft Project file, the picture may disappear when the project file is saved and re- opened. This occurs when you use the SelectAll edit feature in PowerPoint to choose more than one object.

RESOLUTION
For better performance, copy a slide graphic from Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0 instead of copying the objects. To copy a Microsoft PowerPoint slide as a graphic into Microsoft Project, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Microsoft PowerPoint 4.0, click Slide Sorter View on the View menu.
 * 2) Select the desired slide and click Copy on the Edit menu.
 * 3) Open a project file and click Paste on the Edit menu.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
