missing thumbnails

[nrf]

Sonia,
I tried to reply in the original thread, but it did not
post.

In any case, I tried your suggestion. The thumbnail was
selected under views. The thumbnails in the insert slide
from file dialogue is still gray, no image. Is there
anything else I can do to get the images back in the
thumbnail in this dialogue box?

When you select Insert > Picture > Picture from File, a
dialog opens that
allows you to locate the picture you want to insert. In
that dialog box
look for the Tools icon at the upper right. Next to
Tools, if you hover
over the icon that looks like a window, it will
say "Views". Click on the
little arrowhead and you will get a drop down menu.

Did you see the response from John Langhans? I didn't read your post
correctly, so ignore my response. If you still can't see the thumbnails in
Insert > Slides from File and you've selected a file, I think I would try
Detect and Repair. I haven't heard of this problem before, so I don't have
anything solid to recommend.

When I try to insert a slide from file, the thumbnail
images are not shown. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I did
not have this problem when using the powerpoint XP
program. Operating system is Windows 2000.

The following suggestion was made:

I cannot find the: Click on the Views icon in the "Insert
Picture" dialog and select
Thumbnails. Thereafter, the default should be set to
Thumbnails.
