Hi guys, I really hope someone can help me here as I have spent about 2 hours trying to figure this out with no luck!!

What I want to do is embed a powerpoint file (the whole actual file, not just a link to it or a slide from it) into a word document. I have done it with another word document, but I cannot do it with powerpoint. I have seen it done with powerpoint, so I know it can be done, but maybe not on this version of word?

To embed a word document I did the following:

Insert --> Object... -->

Selected 'Microsoft Word Document'

Then clicked on 'From File...'

And it worked fine. However, I then noticed there is no option for 'Microsoft Powerpoint Document'

I then tried 'Paste Special' and 'Paste Link' but the 'Paste Link' option is greyed out.

Any ideas??!?!?!?!?!

thanks!!!!
