New PowerPoint report does not show Connection / Source

I am creating a new PowerPoint report using NPrinting.  I am using PowerPoint 2007 and NPrinting version 15.2.0.3.  I created a brand new Source connection and when I go to create a new PowerPoint report, the connection box is greyed out and does not allow me to change it to the Source I created.  What am I doing wrong???

You can access the new connection you created when trying to add an object or page to the PowerPoint template. When doing this, there will be a drop-down in the upper-right corner that allows you to select the connection.

The area that you are looking in is inaccessible to change connections.

Also, NPrinting 15 is no longer support so I suggest upgrading to version 16 at a minimum.

I was able to access the objects, but I kept getting an error that I figured was related to the fact that my connection/source wasn't done properly.  I cannot see the objects I added on my PowerPoint template.  I drag them over and nothing happens and then when I try to save and close, I receive an error.

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

I cannot upgrade the version I am using or else I definitely would!
