I am formatting and editing a presentation and need to change font size and
type face in some of the charts and worksheets that are embedded in the
presentation. I did not originally create the presentation, charts or
worksheets but need to be able to manipulate them now. It tries to install
something from the Microsoft Office for Samll Business 2003 CD, and I don't
know where that's at right now. I don't want to turn these object into
drawing objects because that doesn't help me accomplish what I'm trying to
do.  Without going to the 4 different sources of files (from people at other
locations) or trying to locate the CD, how can I do this?

Thanks,
Rochelle

It sounds like the presentation includes OLE embedded objects from some other
application (apparently one included in Office, since it's asking for the
Office CD).

Without the application that created the object, you can't really edit it,
other than ungrouping to turn it into drawing objects, and you've said you
don't want to do that.  I think you'll probably have to find that CD.
