There are quite a few different types of links in PPT.
The Edit Links menu only gives you access to OLE links (e.g. stuff linked from
Excel, Word, etc.)
Two suggestions:
The free FixLinks demo at http://fixlinks.pptools.com will repair broken image
links and set them up so they're far less likely to break in the future, or
will allow you to change the images from linked to embedded.
This link has some other ideas, including several ways you can edit the link
directly:
Show me the link and let me edit it

How are you linking the JPGs? Edit|Links is for OLE links -- stuff you
inserted using Insert|Object or Edit|Paste Special|Paste Link.

I am inserting black and white JPEG illustrations into the PPT. First method
was: Insert>Picture>From File>Link to File. The Edit>Links is greyed out.
Second method was: Copy (the JPEG)>Paste Special>Paste Link. The Edit>Links
is also greyed out.

Right in both cases. Did you read my answer earlier?

Thank you, I did.
1. I am working at a company office - due to security issues, cannot
download any programs, etc. But will forward this info to IT services.
perhaps they will approve the fix.
2. For same reason, cannot send the file or a portion of it, but I
appreciate yr and Echo S help. If possible, I will experiment with the
download at home.
Thanks again.

The second link doesn't involve downloading a program; it's just a bit of macro
code you can run from within your own copy of PPT.

Can't seem to locate the "second link" - do you mean the "echosvoice" one?
Thanks
Thanks
