inserting a picture

[Sky]

once you insert a picture on a slide, is there a way to see the file name
and or location?

Hi,

Not unless you resorted to vba. And it might give you the filename, but to
me, it would be pointless to give you a location unless you had it linked.
The only way it would know the image name is to have it embedded in the
image itself, which can be done, or keep a record of the name and location
when it was first inserted.

Please tell us your PowerPoint version,
whether you are using vba,
whether your dog has fleas, or
anything else relevant.

Sky,
you can apply an animation to it. In the animation task pane the picture
will show up with its file name in the list. But to find out the location
you have to do a search with Windows Explorer.

Kind regards,
Ute

OK, Ute. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. PPT2003 here; both embedded and
linked
images show up in my animation pane as e.g. Picture1, Picture2, etc.
Never by
filename.

I don't know what you're doing wrong. Pictures, which are inserted via
Insert - Picture - From file show up with their name (without the
JPG-ending) in my animation pane ... I'll mail you a screenshot.

Kind regards,
Ute
