Links gone if I move file

Someone please help. I'm linking within PPT to Word docs, jpg's and other slides in document. As soon as I move the file (even with all links in the same folder), all links are lost. I am wondering how I am going to get this file to my client with working links. PLEASE HELP.

Hi,

In theory you should be able to use File > Save As and choose the type
PowerPoint package.

That particular feature has been working and not working in various
updates of PowerPoint.

Give it a try and let us know if that solution is working for you.

In some cases, if you put the linked file in the same folder as the saved PPT and only
then create the link, it'll work. No guarantee but it's worth a shot.

Hi

I tested today with all Office updates installed and Save As >
PowerPoint package is working properly.
