Can't view some pictures in presentaions

[me]

Hi,
Someone in my company did a PP presentaion using his
MAC and says that the presentaion shows fine.
When he emailed himself the file to use at work using a
PC, non of his images shows up and they are replaced with
this:
"QuickTime and TIFF (uncompressed) decompressor are needed
to see this picture"

I asked him to do a pack and go to make sure that all the
images are imbeded in the presentaion but he said that he
still receives the same error.

What is the problem and how can we solve it without
redoing the whole presentaion on a PC?

Thanks

He should have the option to turn QuickTime compression off on his images.
He needs to do that on the Mac end.

have an access to a MAC and have no idea how to turn it
off.
Let me know.

Thanks

Let me know.

It'd probably depend on the software used to create the images.
If you can find that out, the best thing to do is post on
Public.Mac.Office.PowerPoint

Just did some fiddling around on the Mac. A couple of things to have them try
on the Mac end.

Bring the pictures into PowerPoint, scale them up to fill the slide then do
File, Save As and choose PNG. The exported PNGs I got from doing this came
into PPT 2000/Windows w/o problems.

You could also have them try bringing the images into iPhoto and exporting from
there as PNG. Tried that here too, and those images were fine on the PC.

Steve's suggestions are the ones I would follow.

I remember that once when this cropped up a long time ago, the user
emailed and told me which options he had to use to turn this off.
Problem is, I can't remember them, and I can't find that email! (That's
a good reason to keep things here in the newsgroup, folks!)

I *think* that when he saved his PPT file he had the option to save the
images using QT compression and he just had to say no. But since that
was so long ago, it could have been an option only available in whatever
older version of PPT he was using. ??

FWIW, here's a KB article that says to do basically what Steve
suggested.

Something else just faded in from the depths of long-ago recall.

When we first ran into this little QT problem years 'n years ago, I found that
I could remove QT from the Mac's startup list so I could restart the Mac w/o
QT installed. With no QT, of course, no apps could save with QT compression,
so any images we saved worked OK on the PC.

That's been many OS versions ago. I don't know whether it'd still solve the
problem, but it's worth a go.
