MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Power Point & MSPaint
I use to be able to click on a dbl click on a picture in my PP2000 software and the Ms Paint program would open up to let me edit, modify.. destroy the picture. Now for some wacky reason that easy action is no longer availabe. I've tried to search within the tool and help to find out where association of programs go, but no luck. Can anyone help me out.  SignatureI didn''t'' do it, you can''t prove a thing, and besides no one saw a thing. > I use to be able to click on a dbl click on a picture in my PP2000 software > and the Ms Paint program would open up to let me edit, modify.. destroy the > picture.

If you bring the picture into PowerPoint using Insert, Picture, From File, you can't doubleclick to edit the picture in any version of PowerPoint. If you drag and drop pictures into PPT, you're right; the default behavior has changed. In 2000, drag/drop produces an OLE embedded object that you can doubleclick to launch the file in whatever program "owns" the file. In 2003, when you drag/drop pictures, you get an embedded image, just as though you'd done Insert, Picture, From File. No double-click to edit. On the other hand, you'll find that your PPT files don't get all puffy and bloated like they do with OLE objects. If you really want to keep the double-click-to-edit ability, use Insert, Object; click Create From File and Browse to the image you want to insert. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Hey Steve, Yeah I found that out after a few hours. It's weird the only thing I can think of is that I must have received the ppt that way in the beginning or something like that. I did however do what you said and work the object>Create From File>Browse. Thank you for your help on that one! Tanaka |
