PowerPoint 2007

[markrd]

I built a pptm presentation in PowerPoint 2007. Now when I try to open it in 2007 on another PC, part of the template animation shows up as an X. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

[Maggie Q.]

Most probably, that X refers to some kind of missing file. An animation may be that was linked to the master slide. If you wish to play an presentation on another computer, Make sure all the files related to the presentation are moved with it.

I think there's an option somewhere that lets you embed any files or objects into the presentation itself so that it works fine when you open it on another PC without you having to worry about moving everything along. It's been a while since I used Powerpoint, though (and certainly not MS Office 2007), so I can't tell you exactly where that option is.
