Unable to edit Visio 2013 drawing in Powerpoint 2013

Hello,
I'm unable to edit drawings created in Visio 2013 that I've embedded in Powerpoint 2013 - they copy over as pictures and I can only edit them as such.
Interestingly, I CAN edit Visio 2013 drawings that I have embedded in Powerpoint 2002/XP.
I'm embedding by simply copying the drawing and then pasting on the slide.
Thanks,
Tyson

Open PowerPoint 2013, go to Insert tab > Object > Create a new "Microsoft Visio Drawing", I can edit the drawing what I wanna edit.
open Visio 2013, create a new Drawing File and save as .VSDX file format, and then drag and move this file into a new creaing PPT, I can still edit it as expected.
A bit more background information and your exact steps how you got to this point would be helpfu

    You can follow any of these steps:-

  • Visio 2013 freezes editing drawing

    I have a user that keeps having issue's with visio 2013.  I have re installed, repaired, checked add-on's.  Can't figure out why there visio keeps freezing up while highlighting a drawing.  The main file size she is opening up is only 4.8
    MB.  Does anyone have any ideas what could be the issue.

    Hi LIShelpdesk,
    Does this issue only occur on a file or on other files? Is there any error code or message when Visio 2013 freezes?
    First make sure your application and driver are up-to-date.
    If updating your drivers doesn’t resolve the issue, we can try this method to check if it’s helpful by clicking File > Options > Advanced > Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

  • Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

    Hi Team,
    Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
    Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
    Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks

    Hi,
    The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
    Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
    The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
    A URL configured by the user

  • Unable to edit documents in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    unable to edit documents in SP2013.while editing getting the following error.Please guide me on this.
    Thanks In advance

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that only
    one user could not edit documents in SP2013 with OWA.
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the
    IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 10.
    Check whether the user has permission to the documents.

    Is IE running in compatibility mode, and if you're accessing CA from the SharePoint server, did you run it "As Administrator"?

  • Visio 2013 & Equation Editor 3.0 = Blurred Equation

    My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. My PowerPoint is 2013 with SP1. My Visio is 2013 with SP1.
    I have a PowerPoint file. It contains a Visio object. The Visio object contains some drawings and some Equation Editor 3.0 objects. The Equation Editor 3.0 objects are very clear in the original PowerPoint file. But if I open the PowerPoint file, right-click
    the Visio object and edit it by Visio 2013, go back to PowerPoint, then the Equation Editor 3.0 objects will become blurred! Please see this video for the demonstration:
    http://1drv.ms/1r2GanG
    I downgraded only Visio from 2013 with SP1 to 2010. The problem was solved. So, the blurring problem could be a Visio 2013 bug. If it is, please fix this bug, Microsoft. Thanks.
    The test PowerPoint files can be download here:
    Original PPT: http://1drv.ms/1r2Ge74
    Blurred PPT: http://1drv.ms/1r2Gjrf

    Hi,
    Based on my tested in my environment (OS Windows 8.1 & Office 2013 SP1), I can reproduce your issue with your PowerPoint files. But I found that your Visio file was not created in Visio 2013, when I double click the Equation Editor 3.0 objects 
    in Visio, I got an error message "An error(1415) occurred during the action open object. Visio is unable to edit the MathType 6.0 Equation Object". Thus, I suppose your Equation Editor 3.0 objects have some compatibility issues with Visio 2013.
    Then, I try to create a new  Equation Editor in Visio 2013, and insert to a PowerPoint 2013 file, it works well.
    Please try the workaround to recreate them with Office 2013 suits and do not use the original file.

    Hi,
    Which default language did you use in Office2013 and Windows 8?  As far as I know, Microsoft Office supports right-to-left functionality and features for languages that work in a right-to-left environment for entering, editing, and displaying
    text.

  • SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013 Issues

    I currently have Visio 2013 and SharePoint Designer 2010 installed.  I have two problems that I'm experiencing and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    1. I'm able to export an already manually created workflow from SharePoint Designer 2010 as a .vwi file without a problem and am able to import the file into Visio Pro 2013.  I
    was also able to export the file from Visio once changes were made.  However, when I go to import the file into SharePoint Designer I receive a message stating "This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a
    different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted.  To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of Visio workflow drawing."  I cannot figure out how to save it in the format the prompt is suggesting
    as this is not available from the list of Save As options from Visio and when exporting from Visio the only format to do so is as a Visio Workflow Interchange (.vwi file).  When exporting from SharePoint Designer I’m only able to export as a .vwi file
    and the Save As option is not available in SharePoint Designer.  Additionally, the file location where I exported from SharePoint and importing back into SharePoint is not changing, nor is the file name. 
    2. If I create a workflow from scratch within Visio utilizing the SharePoint 2010 shapes, I'm about to export without a problem and save as a .vwi file.  I'm also able to import this workflow into SharePoint Designer, but the problem is the workflow
    never actually shows up and I do not receive any errors.
    Any help on either or both of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Use Visio 2010. You may be running into a compatibility issue between Visio 2013 and Designer 2010.

  • Sharepoint Designer 2010 and Visio 2013

    I am testing out Visio Professional 2013. I can import a VWI file from Sharepoint Designer 2010 and I can export a VWI file from Visio. But when I try to import the VWI file created in Visio 2013 into sharpoint Designer 2010 it appears to work, as
    I don't get an error, but the work flow never appears.  Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Based on my research, if it is SharePoint Designer 2010, then the only edition that supports SharePoint workflows is Visio 2010 Premium edition.
    And if you use Visio 2013, then it need to use SharePoint Designer 2013.

  • User unable to edit contacts

    I have a user with Outlook 2013 connected to an 2010 Exchange Server. I have a user that is unable to edit any existing contact, getting an error: Your changes cannot be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder.
    Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
    I have checked the permissions on the mailbox folder as well as the Contacts folder. The user has "Owner" permission to these folders.
    No other users report the problem, and loading the users account on another computer demonstrates the same problem.
    Any ideas what I am missing?

    Hi,
    The error indicates that the issue is related to permission. I recommend you use the Get-MailboxPermission -Identity xxx |fl cmdlet to check if the permission is right. What's more, please check if OWA has the same issue.
    If the issue persists, I recommend you remove the owner permission at first. Secondly, use the following cmdlet to add the owner permission and check the result.
    Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "xxx" -Owner "xxx"
    Hope it helps.

  • Unable to edit document using "Edit with Word" option

    Hi All,
    i am having an issue with Office web apps. i am using SharePoint 2013 and Office web apps 2013. all the configurations have been done successfully. but i have a different kind of issue.
    i am able to open documents in browser
    i am able to edit document using " edit with word/excel web" option
    but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    i have Office 2010 installed on my local machine.
    do we need to have MS office of 2013 version? or is there anything missing from configuration part.
    Please help me.
    Thank You,
    Bhaskar.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not use the "edit with word/excel" option.
    I had tested the issue with the Office 2010, the option worked well.
    You don’t need to install the Office 2013 to use this option.
    What did you mean “but i am unable to edit document using "edit with word/excel" option
    Did you mean the option gray out? Did the issue occur in other browsers?
    You can use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
    Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
    You can also add the site into Trusted sites.
    Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
    What's more, you can also use other browsers to check whether it works, such as Firefox, Chrome.

    Hi SidduSekhar,
    Based on your description, I need to verify the things below:
    Which browser did you use? Did this issue occur with all the browsers?
    Is the cookie disabled in the browser? If yes, please enable it.
    Did you implement security fix in the web.config, such as <httpCookies requireSSL="true" httpOnlyCookies="true" />? If yes, please set it to false in web.config.
    Did you configure Alternate Access Mapping for SharePoint with a URL containing a “_” character? If yes, please remove the “­_” from the URL.
