Avoid a Windows image error in PowerPoint presentations
Authored by: thorsten.b on Jun 14, '07 04:10:43AM

From my experience its definitely a cut and paste problem. So usually I drag the pictures onto the slide (from iphoto). However, I just tested it again, when I drag them onto that placeholder box in the template, the picture file is converted to a pict. file which can't be seen on windows.

So, I ende up using keynote and exporting to a powerpoint file (Where I sometimes get editable files and sometimes non-editable power point files, no clue why).

Thorsten...

You're correct... but the real solution is to use Insert> Picture> From File...> and then choose the file. Works 100% of the time.
