If you ungroup the graphic once it's been pasted into PPT (you may have to ungroup
it several times), you end up with a drawing made up of PPT drawing shapes, which
you can edit as though you'd drawn the diagram in PPT to begin with.
However, since it's no longer a Visio object, you can't edit it as though you were
in Visio.
Another approach would be to copy the drawing from Visio then in PPT: Edit, Paste
Special, as Visio Object.
If all goes well, you could then doubleclick the object and edit it using familiar
visio tools.
