Hey guys, I really need help with powerpoint. My presentation needs to be saved and i have images everywhere. I tried using the "save as powerpoint package" but the stupid program only creates a file with the .PPT file in it w/o any of the pictures...can someone tell me how to troubleshoot this?

Welcome to Mac Forums acn684!

We could use a few details to help with the help. What version of Mac OS X are you using? What version of Powerpoint are you using? What type of Mac do you have (PPC or Intel)? How much memory do you have?

In general, you should save in format "PowerPoint Presentation". That is the "native" format.

I don't have to do anything special to save my presentations with images in them. Do be sure however, when you are inserting the images into the presentation, that you insert the image itself, not a link to it. To do this, I usually open the image I am about to include in the presentation in an image editing program of some sort, do a Edit, Copy of the whole picture and then in Powerpoint, do a Paste Special, Picture.

Perhaps this may resolve the issue?
