MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007can images be replace but transitions be kept?
i am looking to change images, but each time i change an image all of the transitions disappear along with the original image. Can i retain all of the transitions and still replace the images? Please let me know ASAP. thank you There are three ways to do this: 1) Plan ahead If you use auto shapes with image fills, then the fills can be easily swapped at any time without altering the animations. The downside is that a lot of the picture tweak controls are not able to be used on this type of image. 2) Use the add-in Animation carbon (15 day free demo). This will allow you to copy an animation from a picture in your presentation, delete the picture, insert a new picture then paste the animation back onto the new picture. This is a very useful and handy tool to have available. http://skp.mvps.org/ac/index.html 3) Use HTML swapping If you have the time to look thru the pile of little files made by HTML, you can save the entire presentation as an HTML file. In the folder of HTML content, your existing picture will appear with a new name (something like slide0002_image002.jpg). If you replace this image with the new picture (must be the same image file type) using the exact same name, it will be replaced on the slide when you re-open it in PowerPoint and resave as a ppt file. Note that any brightening contrast or cropping changes to the old picture will be applied to the new picture as well. The animations will also still be applied.

Hello, | There are three ways to do this: If you're using PowerPoint 2007 there's a 4th (and perhaps best) way to do this. * Use the "Change Picture ..." command. Method 1: Right-Click on picture and choose the "Change Picture ..." command Method 2: Double-Click on the picture and choose "Change Picture" tool from the Adjust group in the Picture Tools: Format ribbon tab. Hope this helps. John Langhans [MSFT] Supportability Program Manager - PowerPoint
