Peter,
Importing objects into FrameMaker is asking for trouble. FrameMaker's
support for OLE objects is not very reliable. I suggest you export the slide
from PP as rtf and import into FrameMaker. BTW, you will find other people
in the Frame Forum that will tell you OLE itself is not very reliable.
