How can I see more than 250 slides in the "reuse slides" mode?

I regularly reuse slides from other powerpoint-presentations. Many of these
contain more than 250 pictures. I can see the first 250 slides in the "reuse
slides" column to the right, but when I click on the next 250 pictures
pointer I only get the frames and a white background with an icon on it. All
these slides are thus impossible to see which makes it much harder to add
slides from number 251 and up. I have the same problem when using a Mac. Any
suggestion as how to solve this problem would be much appreciated!

Michael,

I've not come across this before - but I suspect you've found a LIMIT.

All I can suggest is a workaround of breaking the BIG presentation into 2 or
more smaller chunks

If you try to view 251 - whatever and then swap back to 1 - 250 do they look
alright?

I am not sure but I can only assume that it is related to the amount of free
space in memory on the computer. I can create (in PPT 2007) a file of 441
relatively complex slides (images and some animations) and see all of them
in the reuse slides menu. However, with this Vista XP home with 3.2 GB RAM
available with nothing running and having Explorer, WLM, Windows Explorer
and also VLC media player running I can not use a file with 1024 slides.
The file fails to open in reuse but will open in a regular PPT window. I
did not keep increasing the number of slides until I could no longer see
them in reuse so I only have those two numbers to go on.

250/255
512
1024

These type of numbers are all related to multiples of eight.

That's why I'm guessing that maybe there is a limit of some kind (powerpoint
or computer)
