Images from Powerpoint 2004 disappear in 2008

[Gawen]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: intel

I start up 2008 and open a file generated in 2004 a few weeks ago. Some of the images have disappeared. Actually they have turned white - there is still a box there that can be selected and is recognised as a picture and can be resized etc. Can this be fixed, or do I need to relocate images (sigh!) and reinsert. I don't know how extensive this is, but if its affecting lots of my powerpoints its a big issue! I'm not happy as I have to do a presentation tomorrow. Thanks for your help!

I can't offer any help, just a similar frustration. I too had certain pictures missing from my 2008 from 2004 PPT. Luckily it was only one file that I ever experienced, but it was definitely frustrating because I had to re-do the slides. I think the problem was internet pics. Different compression and what-not.

We are having the same problem. By reverting to pre-SP1, in our case MS Office 2008 12.0.0, the graphic images show up properly. SP1 or one of the other earlier updates introduced the problem.
