I was asked to insert a PDF in the PPT presentation file and so i followed these steps: From 'Insert' menu, choose 'Object' and then 'From file' Once I selected that PDF (and any other PDF later) I got the following alert message: One of the following errors has occurred: - This file type isn't supported by PowerPoint.

- The linked file is not available. - The app you need to open this file isn't installed. So, I could easily say that none of the three errors has occurred. And, there's another thing that was very useful before, with an old PPT version (Office for Mac 2011): I could very easily copy and paste non-SVG vector graphics from Illustrator to editable Powerpoint shapes, or copy and paste Indesign vector graphics to Powerpoint editable shapes. This is all gone for now.

Anyone has hints, tricks, advices? Thanks Marcello. To further Bob's comments, OLE is a Microsoft technology that has not been implemented in OS X by Apple.
