Double click has stopped working to edit objects on a PP page

[Guest]

I have an object on a slide (e.g. text box, line). I can get a handle to the
object but double clicking doesn't open the format dialog. However,
right-click still works.

Doesn't appear to be a PP option. I checked the KB but couldn't find
anything. Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks.

Thanks Sonia. Turns out it was the WebEx UCF add-in that was causing the
problem. Removing that add-in fixed it.

Thanks so much for letting us know the solution that works for you. Steve will
probably add that to the FAQ.

OK. Not sure about version dependencies but, for the record, I'm running PP
2002 (10.6501.6714) SP3 on a system running Win XP Pro (5.1.2600 SP2 Build
2600).

Marcus,

Thanks for the info. I've added a mention of the WebEx addin to the FAQ per
Sonia's suggestion. Since it's a simple enough thing to disable most add-ins
and since we don't know that the problem is limited to any one Win/PPT version,
I'll leave out the version info lest people assume that the problem only applies
to your version.
