alexpgpTranslating the content of embedded objects in PowerPoint just makes the whole experience a bit more stressful, because half the time, the content reformats itself irreversibly when you click out of the object's boundary.
But one of the PPTs currently on my plate just took the embedding thing to a new level. When I double-clicked on an object in this one slide (one of many slides that have the same appearance), I was presented with an editing window (apparently, in a PPT-hosted Word session), and that window—wait for this—contains a non-editable graphic!
My initial reaction upon encountering this was unprintable, but between then and starting this post, I've figured out how to deal with this, and I'm thinking that, actually, it's the right approach to such objects whether or not the object's content is editable.
But still... it's almost as if the document originator went out of his or her way to make the translator's life difficult!
Cheers...
