Images are not copied when copying from a PPTX into another with PP2007 (powerpoint automation)

[RAHUL]

Hi,

I have 2 PPTX files (source.pptx and dst.pptx), When I insert slides
from source.ppt into dst.pptx (using powerpoint automation
InsertFromFile call) the slide insert well but all the images are gone
(they do not come in the dst.pptx after insert). the images were
embedded in source.pptx (verified it in source.zip) yet the
"InsertFromFile" call do not copy them to dst.pptx

But if I convert source.pptx to source.PPT and then do the
InsertFromFile, all images get copied. This problem happens with
PowerPoint 2007 (I have SP1) only. The automation code copies the
image correctly if I use PowerPoint 2003 (SP3) with converter pack
(this might be because PP 2003 internally converts PPTX to PPT and
thus the image gets copied correctly).

Why copying from a PPTX into another PPTX does not copy the images
with PP 2007? and why does it work if the source file is a PPT?

Thanks in advance
Rahul

It's a known bug.

I think perhaps it's fixed in SP2.
