Default Embedding a PowerPoint Presentation in Word

When I right-click on Icon I see in the shortcut menu, Slide Object and my
co-worker sees Presentation Object. I have tried to convert to presentation,
but when I double-click icon I'm only able to open to the first slide. I
cant even tell word to open the file in Slideshow view.

How can I fix this?

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,
