I'm sure this is just my own stupidity, but I'd appreciate any help I could
get.

I've just created a Slide Show, and saved it to my hard drive.  When
attempting to open it, most (not all) of the pictures have been removed from
the slides and replaced with a black box.  The replaced pics were TIF files.  
Is this a repairable issue?

I had a similar problem.  In my case, I'd copied slides from a presentation
on a CD to my presentation.  After removing the CD, the images were missing
in my presentation, because they'd been pasted as links.  To get around the
problem, after copying slides, I cut the image on the slide (Control-X, or
Shift-Delete), then paste the image back in using Paste Special/Picture
(enhanced metafile).

There are many flavours of TIFF and powerpoint support is not exhaustive. Can
you convert to png which has better support? Maybe cut & paste special as
png? (if the pics have transparency then png is the best bet)

Did that answer the question / help?

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=827302 "TIFF image appears
dark when you insert it into PowerPoint 2003".
