Faulty images causes 2000 and 2003 to crash???

[AnnA]

Has anyone experienced that some PPT files with a lot of images can cause a
system crash/hang up when trying to save the file? If you restart the PC and
remove all images from the presentation the problem disappears.

I have a huge file, with many images wmf,jpg, gif mainly and a client with
(2003) and this problem, an unhappy client...

And naturally I would like to keep all the images but I dont want to re-save
all imagefiles in Photoshop. the file is about 6MB.

Anyone have a solution???

Thank You!!!!!

6mb is not an overly large file. Has your client installed all the latest
patches for his/her operating system and PowerPoint?

Hi

I have tried to get just that information since I started to wonder...
But I will probably not get that information unfortunatley.
But I will of course advise him to do an update check at microsoft.com.

Your file may have a corrupted slide. One thing to try would be to round-trip
the file. See:

HTML "Round-tripping" to repair corruption

If that does not correct the problem, please let us know. If it does correct
the problem we would like to hear that too. <G>
