Default Embedding a PowerPoint Presentation in Word

The presentation has 11 slides and I use to be able to double-click the PPT
icon in Word and open the presentation in "Normal" View not "Slideshow" View.
The same presentation in question opens up in Slideshow view in my
co-worker's computer, but in mine it opens up in Normal view but it only
displays one slide.

How can I tell word to open the presentation in Normal view when I double
click the embedded file?

Thanks,

Assuming the presentation contains more than one slide:

The slides must have timings & the presentation set to automatically run
using the slide timings rather than manually, or

Once you dbl-clk the icon you need to press spacebar or click the mouse
button, etc to advance from one slide to the next.

If you are looking to open the presentation file for editing purposes, don't
dbl-clk the icon. Instead, right-click it & choose Presentation ObjectEdit
(or Open) to open the file in PPt.

I'm currently working in Word 2003 and I go into Insert, Object, Create
from
File, I browse for file and I Display the file as Icon. When I double
click
the file to open it only displays the first slide in PowerPoint and not
the
entire presentation.

I would like to see all the slides in the presentation when I double click
to open the file.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
