When I try this using an emf graphic from Maptitude in PowerPoint 2010 (as demonstrated in the video):
* after I select "ungroup", a dialog box appears that states "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft drawing object"? * I select okay, and PowerPoint churns for quite a while (several minutes), sometimes freezing up the program. * When it actually is able to complete the conversion, I then select "ungroup" again * When I try to select an item or draw a selection box as demonstrated in the video., again, PowerPoint churns for several minutes * After processing (or doing something) for several more minutes, the picture is broken up into a bunch of messy unusable pieces...nothing like the video. Any suggestions or clues as to what might be going on?
