Linked Images to Embedded

[APovlitz]

Hi,

I have a powerpoint with about 10 slides that each have 15 images per
page. I frequently have to update the pictures (i.e. the last one is
pushed out and the every picture is moved over so there is a new 1, 1
becomes 2, 2 becomes 3, etc.)

I'm needing to embed the pictures occasionally when I send the file to
people for them to work but I can not use the "Package for CD"
function because I can not send them the original image files for
other reasons.

Manually going through the pictures and changing them from linked to
embedded is too tedious due to the number of pictures I must change
that is constantly getting larger. I've heard of FixLinks but when I
tried the demo it didn't work.

My question is are there any more efficient or better ways to convert
my linked images to embedded? I don't want to deal with macros or
anything like that, just some simple program that does the work for
me. Please let me know. Thanks

-Adam

Did you get in touch with the author? That'd be me. I'd be happy to help, if
you'd like to email me at steve at-sign pptools dot com

Does anyone know the proper name for the "at-sign"?

No - an ampersand is the proper name for '&'. What's the name for '@'

Ampersand is the sum of an "e" and a "t" making "et" (and)...

@ in Spanish, means arroba (a unit of measure, named after an arab word),
but it comes also from Latin the latin "ad" sign, the sum of a+d meaning
"at"...

I've only seen @ referred to as the "at sign" or sometimes "commercial at sign"
(so what do non-profits use for email addresses, hmm?)

Ignore that Canadian fella & his @mpers@nds.
He's t@lking through his @.
Canada may breed real men, but real ampersands look like this: &

@'s all, folks.
Over Ampersand Out.

[Michael Koerner]

Just the "at" symbol. sorry bout my earlier post.
