Inserted Pictures are not showing up in slide show
Not sure how much help I can be, but I can think of a couple of things. First
thought is system resources, especially since pictures and movies are showing up
in preview but not in the slide show view. What kind of processors and RAM you
got on those boxes?
Other thought is that you maybe need to turn off "allow fast saves" in
Tools/Options. I know, I know, you're not getting the RedX, and SR2 was supposed
to fix this, but hey, never hurts to check! <g> And it sure won't hurt!
The final thing is, when you move the presentations to the other machines, are
you taking the movies along, too? If not, you need to, and you may need to reset
the links when you get them to the machine you're playing them on. PPT will look
for the original path to the movie. Probably the easiest thing is to put them all
in the same folder as the presentation and move the entire folder to the
presenting machine. The same thing could be happening with pictures if the kids
are linking them rather than embedding them.
Food for thought. Maybe this will spark some others to jump in.
