I think the question is its behaviour with *.PPS vs *.PPT files... some
experimentation is needed on this- I pointed out how MS Office deals with PPS
files, which makes copying the image more difficult (though not impossible)
than if it was a *.PPT file; I don't know whether OO.org mimics this MS Office
behaviour or not.
