Edit/Links

[Carrie]

I'm inserting links to images from a network drive and using an add-in to
break those links (and embed image) at a later time. I'm hoping to use the
Edit/Links menu to manage where those files are located as it changes over
time.

Problem: The Edit/Links menu is not activated (is greyed out).

I've tried inserting the files multiple ways but nothing has worked. The
menu will activate if I insert, say, a portion of an Excel spreadsheet, but
not if I try to paste in a slide or image/object from PowerPoint or my
preferred method of Insert Link after copying from Windows Explorer folder.

It's actually your demo version of FixLinks that I'm working with.

First question is this, does 'The PPTools Starter Set Plus includes a tool
that allows you to edit individual links' mean that you have to go page by
page and run the macro to point to a new file path or can it review an entire
presentation at once?

Second, the project I'm working on will be repeated for multiple countries.
The naming convention of the image file names will be similar. Is there a
way to find a similar file name rather than an exact match? For example, in
Germany a .wmf file might be called 36C04 and in Austria be 38C04. I would
not want it to find/insert 38C040, however.
