PowerPoint 2007 vs. 2003 and Graphics Not Showing

[Catrina]

I have a presentation created in PPT 2003 that I have now opened with 2007
and saved as a 97-2003 file. This file has an excel sheet that was placed in
the document and multiple charts that were inserted into it from excel.
These are all viewable in 2007. My client is still running 2003 and when I
open the presentation on a machine at my clients office the graphics are
missing and a box with a red X shows up. The file is not linked to any of
the graphics.

thanks, Catrina

Hi Catrina

See if this helps:
Red X replaces images on slides inserted into PowerPoint 2007 presentations

Or this:
RED X instead of graphics

Thanks Lucy for the links! As it turns out the next day the employee went to
the client site and all the graphics showed back up. It is a mystery to us
for now but we shall wait and see what happens next.
