Hi Chris -
The Red X syndrome is typically indicative of the program not being able to
read the image information. You may want to take a look at this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291874
What format were the images saved as? Also, you didn't respond as to how the
images were added to the slides - pasted or dragged can cause this type of
incompatibility. If scanned directly into PPt, what settings were used for
the scans?
I'm not at all clear what you mean by:
" However, some of these slides have corrected themselves in the
order in which they appear."

Dear Bob,
I am using a Student & Teacher Edition, 2004, of Office:Mac that I
bought from Microsoft four months ago. The Sony laptop came installed last
week with Business & Student 2007 edition of Office. Some updateds have
automatically been downloaded in both cases.
The Powerpoint slides contain scanned-in pages from textbooks that I use
in presentations and classes. Some are in color and other in black & white
but color does not seem to be a factor. Some of the Powerpoint presentations
are about 150 MB and others are quite small, but their size also does not
seem to be a factor. Several of the larger files transfer quite readily.
In one of the presentations, the Powerpoint slide boarders of all the
slides appear but not the scanned content of some of them. Instead, a red
"x" appears followed by a message saying the file may be corrupted or too
large, but they are essentially the same as those around them. In the case
of
another presentation, a message occasionally appears say a slide needs to be
compressed. However, some of these slides have corrected themselves in the
order in which they appear. How would one get the rest to do the same?
I would be most grateful for any suggestions you may have.
Thank you,
Chris Brown
