PPT 2003 Interop w/ Embedded Excel Files

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel

Folks,

I've got a PPT file that was originally created in Powerpoint 2003 (SP2).
The PPT deck has a number of embedded Excel worksheets, created in Excel
2003 (SP2).

I can open the PPT, click on the embedded worksheets and modify them.
Sometimes PP2008 gets a bit weird with the sizing of the visible ****tion of
the embedded worksheet or messes up the fonts. I can usually just resize
the worksheet data in the slide and it's fine.

Now, when I modify a worksheet in a slide, then send it back to someone
with Windows, they can open the PPT just fine and see all the slides just
fine, but when they try to modify the embedded worksheet, PP2003 throws up
an error:

"The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned
with an unkown error. You may need to reinstall the server application."

Is there a preference or option that I can set that will allow me to
modify an embedded worksheet in a PPT slide and after saving also allow my
co-workers using Office 2003 to modify that same worksheet?

I'm running the latest update to Office 2008 for Mac.

Thanks,

/mpb
