Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package
The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package but were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

When you try to embed an OLE object that is stored in a SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft document library into a PowerPoint 2003 slide, you may receive the following error message:

You cannot use an Internet address here. Enter a path that points to a location on your computer or on the network.

When you insert a PowerPoint 2003 object, a separate session of PowerPoint 2003 starts and is brought to the foreground. Editing the text in this PowerPoint 2003 session does not affect the embedded object. This issue occurs only when the UI language of PowerPoint 2003 is Turkish and if is no other instance of PowerPoint 2003 running when you insert the object.

If you assign two or more animations to a table in PowerPoint 2003, modify the table, and then reopen the presentation, the animation is lost.
