Powerpoint and Images

J

JCaira

I have a Powerpoint presentation with some embedded images. For some users
all the images show up correctly but for other users they show up as red X's.
If I logon to the PC (as admin) and try to run the ppt, the images show up.
if I use the clients account (on the same PC)they do not show up correctly. I
have also tried another non admin user and they show correctly. Another
problem that seems to be linked to this is when the images are not showing
for the user, the user is unable to paste an image into powerpoint. IE the
user will take a screen dump using print screen and attempt to paste it into
powperpoint. The guidlines for powerpoint will disappear as would happen if
an image was pasted in but no image appears.

The problem only seems to occur on office2003. It is fully updated. I have
tried this on different PCs so the display adaptor is not the cause. The
images are not linked.

I have read those points but as this only occurs for some users and not
others I dont think they apply.

Have you made any progress on this issue? I have exactly the same
problem, except it is the admin account that doesn't work properly,
user accounts work fine.
