Many of my imported images look hot pink. How do I fix them?

[Bill in St. Paul]

I built several lectures using PowerPoint (?2000) and successfully imported
JPEGs as illustrations. I've since changed computers and now when I open my
presentations some of the images are hot pink--markedly distorted. I
currently use MS PowerPoint 2000 and I have updated my Office 2000 with the
most current downloads offered by the Microsoft Office site.

Why are some of my bitmap images distorted while others are just fine? Is
there a MS PowerPoint setting that I don't know about that might be changed?

Many thanks for your help.

By any chance when you built your lectures, did you cut and paste them into
the presentation directly? or did you save them to disk first?

You may want to try copying the picture from PowerPoint, paste it into Photo
Editor, save it to the hard drive then re-insert the picture. If this
clears up the picture then more came over with the cut & paste then just the
image. This is the reason you should always insert a picture image from the
hard drive and not from cut & paste.

I do not know of an automated way to resolve this.
