SUMMARY

When you break a link to an embedded object, the object is automatically converted to a picture. If the linked embedded object is another PowerPoint presentation, the resulting picture is of the first slide.

MORE INFORMATION

When you choose to break a link to an embedded object in the Edit Links dialog box in PowerPoint 4.0, you receive the following message:

If you break this link, it will be converted to a picture. This cannot be undone.

You do not receive this error message in PowerPoint 7.0 and you can undo the conversion by clicking Undo on the Edit menu.
