Missing pictures when opening earlier versions of PPT

[Kjetil]

H

In Office2003 when I'm opening a ppt presentation made in Office XP some of the slides open with no content. It seems that this is the pages where I've pasted tables and graphs as pictures to save space

Does anyone know how to get this information in office 2003 ?

Note that if you save the file in Office 2003, that content will be
permanently lost. That shouldn't happen after you apply the patch.

If you have PPT 2002 (aka XP) still, try opening the file in it and
resaving to a new name. This will often resolve the issue as well.

Hello,

It sounds like you are encountering a known issue for which a Critical
Update is already available.

The update is available in all languages.

The easiest way to get the update is to (in Word, PowerPoint or Excel)
while connected to the interet is to:

1) Choose the "Help" menu
2) Select the "Check for Updates" command
3) In the web page the comes up use the "Check for Updates" link to verify
whether you need to install the update.

If you need the update, you will be shown a link that takes you to a page
with more information about the update and instructions for downloading it
for the desired language.
