Black boxes where images should be in Powerpoint

Any luck with the black box problem?

I'm aware this topic was posted over four years ago, but I'm having the same problem and was wondering if you (or if anyone else) ever figured out a solution. I actually use a PC, but I'm trying to view a powerpoint that I believe was made on a Mac. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out.

 

Found on the guides here

I didn't make the powerpoint, though. Maybe the person who made the powerpoint used the "drag and drop" method to add the pictures. Is there anything I can do to change the images/formatting/etc. so that I can view them?

 

You can do a websearch for --> powerpoint pictures between mac and windows

In the worst case, you'd have to contact the author and ask him/her to do the File -- Insert method.

Good luck.

 

black boxes instead of images in powerpoint

Fiddled around for ages trying to figure it out - check the colour mode of images in photoshop - try changing the colour mode to RGB from CMYK, save and then insert as pictures.
