Power Point Crashes when I add Multiple EPS files

[ChicagoOffice]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I have a presentation that needs multiple EPS logo files so that it is displayed clearly on a very large screen in a convention hall.

However, whenever I have more that 2 or 3 eps files in the presentation, PowerPoint crashes when I try to save it.

Is there a way to prevent this?

PowerPoint's never played very nicely with EPS and there appears to be a
bug in the latest update that causes further problems with vector
graphics.

I'd convert the EPS logos to some other format; in order, I'd try PICT,
EMF (if PPT imports that ... I don't have the latest version), PNG

This happens to me as well and it's badly hindering my progress. I've tried copying the file in Illustrator and using Paste Special in PPT, pasting it as a PDF. After 2 or 3 images pasted, it will quit when I try to save.
