Inverted images

[Chris Watts]

I recently prepared and delivered three presnetations at a conference. All
three were prepared using PowerPoint 97 running under Windows 98 and
PowerPoint 2000 running under XP Professional. Needless to say they were
fully checked out under both configurations and all was well.

When I came to deliver the presentations I was provided with PowePoint 2003
running under, I think, XP Professional. One ran perfectly. The other two
had glitches!

The two to which I refer had subsiduary presentations that they called up -
no problem there. But on a few of the slides, an inserted image appeared
upside down! I checked it out afterwards on the same machine and the image
was inverted in edit mode also. The inverted images occured on slides
containing multiple images and the inverted portion was part of a group of
images - and only one of the group was inverted!

Can anybody explain what is going on and how to avoid it!

Thanks John. That explains it and tells me how to correct it in 2003 and
XP. Cannot see yet how to ensure that the flip values do not get set in the
first place in 2000 or in 97.

The error occurs because the "flipvertical" (or horizontal) property has
been set. Usually this is done by dragging a sizing handle beyond the picture
limits. You can see this easily in 2003 - with a picture drag one of the top
handles down past the base the picture flips. In 97 / 2000 this property is
ignored and the picture doesnt flip, youre not aware its been set until you
open in XP and later.
