to help you better i would want to know if you get any error messages when
you try to open the document or try to access the msgraph objects in
powerpoint. another thing you can try to narrow down on the problem is to
open a new powerpoint presentation and try and insert and access a msgraph
object.

The problem may not be related with active sync at all.

Hope this helps
