Embedded Visio (and other) objects in ppt, but app not available?
I've embedded Excel/Word/Visio objects in my powerpoint slide deck.
This allows me to doctor the content using the source applications without creating separate external files for those objects. However, there is no guarantee that the venue at which I present the powerpoint slides will have the apps (Excel, Word, Visio). Mind you, they are likely to have Excel and Word, but not so much Visio. I remember running into similar snafu in the past, but I don't recall exactly what the limitation was when the Visio app is not present. I am also having difficulty finding a computer without Visio (or at least the viewer) in order to experiment. Should I forget the idea of presenting slides with embedded objects from other apps? Or will the presentation still run fine without the apps present, and it is only editing that will not do-able? If viewability is compromised by the absence of the apps, I will have to generate a PDF. I am using Office (and Visio 2003) on Windows XP. I am not sure what the environment will be like at the presentation venue. |
