MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / September 2006Baffling loss of images
I've been trying unsuccessfully to help my wife solve a bizarre problem with many of her old PPT files. Copying this typical example file http://www.terrypin.dial.pipex.com/Images/LostImages.ppt to my own PC, I get exactly the same strange behaviour. When I first open the file, the images are present. But as soon as I do *anything*, even just maximise the window, they disappear, never to return. I recall pursuing a similar problem without clear resolution a year or two ago. Can anyone help us fix it please? Both our PCs run under XP Home (mine at SP1, my wife's at SP2), and both have PowerPoint 2000 SP1, part of the Office 2000 Premium suite.  SignatureTerry, West Sussex, UK I'd start by updating your service packs. Office 2000 is at (at least) SP3 SignatureDid that answer the question / help? _____________________________ John Wilson Microsoft Certified Office Specialist http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html > I've been trying unsuccessfully to help my wife solve a bizarre > problem with many of her old PPT files.
