Editing an object
I'm not sure if this is rally a Word 2003/WinXP Home question but here goes.
I downloaded the printout of a powerpoint presentation. It consists of a set of single page objects (for want of a better term?). Each object is a page sized box complete with handles. it also contains text. I'd like to be able to make some edits to the text. But the object, as it appears on the screen doesn't permit it. Is there a simple, or even a not-so-simple way to do this? Would any other programs do the trick? OCR, One-Note? -- PT |

Editing an object
You should try opening the files in PowerPoint.

Editing an object
If it's a PowerPoint object, you usually can edit by right-clicking,
choosing Presentation Object - Edit. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "PT" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately, it's not a PPT file. It looks like someone converted a PPT
to a word doc with each slide appearing as a single frame - one per page -- PT "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ... If it's a PowerPoint object, you usually can edit by right-clicking, choosing Presentation Object - Edit. |

Editing an object
If when you select one of the objects and then click on the Format menu,
does the Picture item appear in the list of things that can be formatted? If it does, about the only thing that you can do in Word will be change the size of the object. -- Hope this helps.
