Hi everyone,
I really hate to bring this problem up again, but a co-worker of mine has encountered
another problem with red Xs appearing in place of images.
Here is the situation:
- A colleague is creating a presentation in Power Point and red X's keep popping up all
over the place. The presentation must be ready to go this afternoon because the
person presenting it is leaving for an overseas meeting this evening.
-The latest MS service pack has been installed.
-Red Xs no longer appear in MS Word, but they keep appearing in Power Point.
-The Xs are erratic, appearing in place of a certain image one time and appearing in
place of a different picture another time.
-The entire file is just over 8 MB.
If anyone has any answers or recommendations, I would greatly appreciate any
responses!
