Why did my pictures disappear?

[Jeff]

All the photos in my presentation (except the very first) have suddenly been
replaced with a red X. This happened just after I reorganized the source
files, but I thought the pictures were all embedded into the ppt file. I can
copy the ppt to another location without the other photos, which suggests
they were embedded. Is there anyway to reestablish the path other than just
reinserting (and reformating) each picture? Is there any way to check what
path it is searching? Or could it be that the pictures are being concealed
to save memory? The file is only 20MB. If I try to reduce the file size by
saving a copy and deleting sheets, I don't have the pictures or even the red
X's.

This should help.

If your using 2007, look here also.
