Provide a way to replace red "x" images in powerpoint!

[Guest]

I have been working on a powerpoint for a history project that is due in two
days. Today, when I opened my powerpoint presentation, imagine my horror when
I found red Xs everywhere that my file pictures and even some of my clip art
use to reside. I tried my darndest to find a way that I could simply replace
the pictures, so all the custom animation for the picture could remain, but I
am horrified that there is no replace image command.

The replace image command is something that is direly needed for microsoft
powerpoint. It has taken me hours to replace all the pictures and do all the
custom animation once again.

My question is this, is there a simple way to replace my pictures that are
heavily animated without going through all of the work I did? and if there
isn't, is this going to be updated within the next version of powerpoint?

Graphics replaced by red x. The same thing happened to my powerpoint presentation so I called technical support. Instead of opening the file I suggest to save it to a location like the desktop then click on open. After I clicked open, my original graphics appeared and the red x's and boxes were gone. I hope this helps.
