graphics showing as red x
A user brought me a ppt document because all of her graphics have turned to
red X's. When you double click the pictures some say: "This is an imported picture, not a group. Convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing?" but saying yes or know has no effect it remains a red x. Others open in the Microsoft photo editor and then when you close the photo editor they appear in PPT. What is happening with this? How can she get he pictures to show back up? Thanks, Brad |

graphics showing as red x
I was not able to reproduce the "Red X" problem with one of my clients who
recently stumbled upon it but I did not find any solution in the link at "rdpslides.com". My client did mention, however, that he had been compressing the images in his presentation. When I unchecked compression, the image appeared again. Although I could not reproduce the Red X by using compression, deselecting compression options and hitting "Apply" did restore the image. Interestingly, I get a Red X when I print a completely different PPT to PDF. Most images will print but some of the clip art is replaced with the Red X. I created a separate PowerPoint file with compression and printed to PDF but got the same results, regardless of PDF options (Acrobat PDF Writer, v. 5.0). If I print to PDF in Grayscale, I get all images, no X's. "Michael Koerner" wrote in message ...

I am not to familiar with the workings of Acrobat. Hopefully Steve will drop by
and insert some words of wisdom. Which version of PowerPoint are you and your client using? -- Please post all follow-up questions/replies to the newsgroup Email unless specifically requested will not be opened Do Provide The Version Of PowerPoint You Are Using Do Not Post Attachments In This Newsgroup Michael Koerner [MS PPT MVP] "Robert" wrote in message ...

My client did mention, however, that he had been compressing the images in his presentation. How and where did he do this? When I unchecked compression, Where did you do this?
