Forgive me is this is a stupid question:

I produced a powerpoint presentation then copied it to
disk to move it to another pc. After moving it to
another pc and opening it, none of the scans / tiffs are
in the presentation. There are just boxed with a red X
in the place where the pictures should be. What am I
missing?

THANKS!!!!!!
Jay
 
Dear Jay,
This is not working because the pictures which r in ur machine , they r not
in "her machine" .
So you can
i) Save the file as web page naming suppose "X" in MyDoc
ii) Then copy X and X_files from my documents in a floppy .
iii ) Hope this will satisfy u .

It sounds as though you may have chosen the option to link to the pictures when
you add them. Is that the case?

Thanks for all the great info!!! I really appreciate it!
I don't think I've chosen the option to like them.
Perhaps I just don't know that I did???

Thanks again!

If you use PPT2000 or later, it's almost 100% certain that you wouldn't have
accidentally linked the pictures. The option's pretty well hidden - you have
to be pretty deliberate about it if you really do want the pictures linked.

If you want to doublecheck, download the demo FixLinks from
http://get.pptools.com and run a report. That'll tell you where any linked
images are, if there are any in the first place.

The red x appears when PowerPoint can't display the image for whatever reason
.. it may be a display problem or something else.

For example, you mentioned TIFFs. These can be problems for PPT. JPG or PNG
is a better choice, generally. And if you're using CMYK TIFFs, I have to tell
you, that's a lot like holding a brick at eye level directly above your bare
feet and letting go. It might not hurt, but the odds are against ya. <g>
Don't use anything but RGB images in PPT.


Thanks again!
Jay
