hi. i created a PPT using powerpoint 2004 for mac. in it i dragged a bunch of web images (jpgs, pngs, etc.) off of google images (using safari) directly into various slides and all looked great. save the ppt, email it to folks and when they look at the slides with the images on it they only see "Quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture".

anybody know why my images are not showing up and how i get them to? we are talking lots of images... so i really don't want to have to go through re-doing this with downloading images to my desktop and then re-adding them.

thanks for any help.

Yeah, drag and drop never worked correctly with 2004. To be safe, I still use Insert Picture even with 2008.
