WINDOWS

Summary:

If you receive the following error message, or if the Insert Graph command is not available on the Microsoft PowerPoint File menu, open the WIN.INI file in Notepad (or with Sysedit):

Sorry, unable to find editor for Graph. Make sure the editor is installed.

See if the following section is in the WIN.INI file:

[Embedding] Graph=Business Graphs from PowerPoint Graph, Graph, > PPtGraph.exe, picture

Note: Text preceded by an arrow character (>) should appear on the end of the previous line. The lines are word wrapped here for convenience. The arrow sign should not be included in the text.

If the section does not exist, PowerPoint will not be able to access the embedded application, Graph, which is used to edit and create graphs in PowerPoint.

If the section does not exist, add the two lines at the bottom of WIN.INI, exit Windows and restart Windows. PowerPoint will then be able to access the embedded application, Graph.
