How to open embedded files while in Powerpoint presentation Slideshow

Problem:

I have seen lots of embedded files in PowerPoint presentations. The

problem is that every time I see someone "opening" an embedded file, the

person has to go out of Show Mode (i.e. clicking Escape), back into Edit Mode

and only then the person can double-click the Icon of the embedded file, so

that it opens.

 

Solution:

Right click the inserted file, choose Action Settings.

Or, in 2007, click once on the inserted file, go to Insert, click Action.

In the Mouse Click tab of the dialog box, choose Object Action.

Open will probably be the only available choice in the dropdown.

Click OK.

The file should now open when clicked in Slide Show view, leaving the PPT show

open behind it.

Ah!! Thank you!! I knew it was possible, but was missing the Action part. You'd think that would be something they would build in automatically!

Thank you so much !! Spent around an hour trying to get this done. Finally, it was such a simple step.

Office 2007 gets on my nerve at times :)

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was
super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for rookie blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.
