How to save ppt with linked images as a ppt with embedded images

I have a ppt with hundreds of linked images. I did not realize that the image
linking used an absolute address as opposed to a relative address (why they
did this I have not figured out yet). The problem is that when I send the ppt
and the linked images to a co-worker, he can't see the images because the
path where they are saved is different. I have them all on a D: drive and he
doesn't have a D: drive and it is a little much to ask him to partition his
drive and create the EXACT same directory structure I have just to view the
linked images. If Microsoft would have only made the linking relative to the
ppt, all this could have been avoided.

So my question is, is there a way to save the ppt where all the linked
images are pulled in as embedded images?

Thanks,
Joe
 
Hi Joe

Have a read of this:
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00155.htm

Within it you will find a link to the free demo of FixLinks which I think
will solve your problem.

It's a long way from the internet to where you live?

The free FixLinks demo will either convert linked images to embedded images, or
will adjust the links so that they'll work so long as the PPT and linked images
are in the same folder.

To be perfectly clear: the free demo will do either. No need to purchase
anything.
