Excel problem with editing in a PowerPoint Presentation
 

I'm not sure which discussion group this applies to, so I'm posting it in
both Excel and PowerPoint.

I am using Office 2003 and I just started having problems with any Excel
workbooks embedded into a PowerPoint presentation. It is a bit difficult to
describe but I'll give it my best shot.

Whenever I double-click an Excel object to edit the data, it opens up like
normal and gives me all of the MS Excel options I normally get. But what is
very VERY strange is that when I try to select a single cell (or row/column),
it will take me into the MS Excel program and not allow me to edit anything
in the PowerPoint. The same thing happens when the pasted data is an Excel
Chart or pivot table.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this and if so, what is the fix?? If
I have to, I'll uninstall MS Office and reinstall it but I'm trying to avoid
that.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
