Turn a PowerPoint file from Dynamic back to a Simple Static PPT

[Guest]

Is there a fairly easy way to convert a PPT file that has a bunch of linked
graphics into a file that simply has all the images as part of the PPT file
(and therefore, no longer linked)?

I currently have a number of PPT files that have 'dynamic links' in them.
Basically, I used the 'Insert | Picture |From File| Insert (Link to File)'.
This is all working fine, the PPT updates itself when the underlying graphic
images change, etc.

But, I often have a need to email these PPT files out to people. It is a
little laborious to have the recipients have to download the PPT file as well
as all the underlying separate graphic files.

If these PPT files could be converted back to being static with some sort of
PowerPoint or 3rd party utility, that would be terrific.

Thanks in advance!

Very cool. Thank you for posting that!

OBTW, did you know that the free FixLinks demo also does the embed linked
images trick?
