Hi everyone -

Is there a way to force PowerPoint show up embedded objects somewhere
(either in slides or in properties window)? I have a Powpoint 2003 file
that, if open it in Powerpoint, there is no OLE objects found, but if we
look into the COM objects, it shows there is an OLE objects. the code we
used to detect there is an OLE object is like this:

   Dim ppt As PowerPoint.Application
  //    ...open powerpoint file...
   Set PPTDoc = ppt.Presentations.Open(filename, True, True, False)

   Dim s As PowerPoint.Shape
   For Each s In PPTDoc.SlideMaster.Shapes
       If s.Type = Office.MsoShapeType.msoEmbeddedOLEObject And s.Name =
"Base" Then
           Debug.Print "hidden object found"
       End If
   Next

I have the impression that sometimes Powerpoint automatically keeps an old
copy of the original presentation. Is it true? If so, how can we show the
user that there IS an object (no matter what) embedded in it.

Thanks in advance!
