How to embed a Word document in PowerPoint 2010

[StuartR]

I want to embed a word document into a PowerPoint presentation, so that it opens when I double click it during my presentation. I'm sure I have done this in the past, but I can't remember how.

I have inserted the object using Insert > Object > Create from file, and set the "Display as icon" checkbox

I can open the Word document when I am editing the slide show, by double clicking the icon, or right clicking and choosing Document Object

I can't see how to launch the Word object when I am displaying the slide show

In Edit mode, select the icon.
Activate the Animations tab of the ribbbon.
Click Add Animation > OLE Action Verbs...
Click Open, then OK.

Intuitive, isn't it?
