Default Inserting a link

If you must have a link in the Word document, then you have to send the PPT
file too, and it has to be saved in exactly the same folder path as it was
on your computer. That's what a link is: just a pointer to the location of
the file. If the file isn't where the link says it is, the link can't work.

Instead, uncheck the "Insert as link" option in the Insert Object dialog.
That will embed the entire presentation inside the Word document, so it will
travel with the rest of the document. Leave the "Show as icon" box checked,
and the recipients can double-click the icon to launch the presentation.
