SUMMARY
=======
If you have more than 20 entries in the [Embedding] section of your
WIN.INI file, Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, version 2.0, will only
recognized the first 20 entries. Any additional entries will be ignored
and not listed in the Insert sub-menu in PowerPoint.

WORKAROUND
==========
Arrange the entries in the [Embedding] section so that the objects
you want to use in PowerPoint are among the first 20 entries in the
section. The next time that you start PowerPoint, the changes will
be reflected in the Insert sub-menu.

MORE INFORMATION
================
This problem does not occur in later versions of PowerPoint since they
utilize the Registration Database (REG.DAT) to access objects, instead
of the [Embedding] section.
