PowerPoint-Embedded Object Icon Doesn't Work in Slide Show 1

[mtn244]

I have embedded a Word file in my PowerPoint presentation. Double clicking in design view opens the the Word doc, but clicking the icon in Slide Show just advances to the next slide. I'm not using a hyperlink (which does work) because the presentation is being sent out to people via email.

Any ideas on how to get the icon to be active during the slide show?

Thanks

The Solution:
After you had embeded the object as a word document, right click the word icon, select "Action Setting"->at "mouse Click" tab, check "object action" radio button, select "open" at the drop down list, then click "OK".
Now, click power point slide show and try to click the word icon. You should get the document open at this time.

Happy trying.
