Since i worded my last question incorrectly, here it is again. When you import a presentation that was created with a PC to a Mac, and you try and copy and paste slides, some of the pictures become color fills instead of actual files (e.g. jpeg, tiff, etc.). Is there a way to correct this so it doesn't happen?

Thanks for the re-post. That helps, but I still don't quite understand what you're
seeing.

Why do you say that the pictures have become color fills?

The reason I say they become color fills is because the picture is no longer able to be expanded or cropped once pasted into the new presentation. Not having control over this has become some what of a problem. Thanks for your reply.

OK. Is there any pattern to this? Particular image types, for example? Or could it
be that you've been bit by the PC version's autoformatting? Sometimes when you
insert a picture, PPT automatically turns it into a content placeholder (as though
you'd selected the clipart layout and added the picture by doubleclicking).

These do behave differently than regular pictures.

Having the same issues. Import of a graphics file creates a box in word that
is black.
May be similar issue. I have looked for different filters that support
higher end graphics files but haven't found anything yet. If a smaller
graphics file is imported it seems to be ok.
