Help - Pictures in my ppt presentation are switching / swapping to other slides

[Bill Bixby]

Greetings all,

I have these PowerPoint presentations and the pictures are dissapearing on
some slides and inserting themselves on other slides. Some of the photos
that got switched were small, but then reappear on another slide as the
background and they are streatched to the full. It makes no sense and is a
real problem since we have to supply these presentations to our clients.
Does anyone else have this problem? This is all done with Office 2003.

Thanks,

Bill

Before you do anything else, save a few copies of the presentation under new
names. The presentation might be going corrupt; you don't want to lose all
your work if it goes kerflooey (pardon the technojargon)

Next, follow the suggestions here, then open and resave your presentation:

Check this one too:
Don't do this with PowerPoint. Seriously.

And if that doesn't help, try "roundtripping" your presentation.
