Super Problem :/

[Jthomps01]

I have a HUGE presentation to give. I spent hours creating the graphics needed for this presentation. When i opened power point today, many of my graphics were gone!!!! They were not saved over... for instance, the object is still there, it is just no longer showing the graphic.



Now i have blank "white" boxes on a screen I used to have pictures. The obvious fix to this is to create one solid picture (rather than having multiple small ones), however, my issue now is this: I have a 75 slide document, that i have to scan through and remember every image that existed on each slide!

Is there a way that i can recover those files? Or has PP deleted them for good?

This happened to me once before but it wasnt a big issue because it only did it with one image (so i simply replaced it). In this current PP I am missing MANY images and i need to present soon

Big minus for PP

Have you recently switched from 2003 or 2007 to 2010? My first thought is that you either drag and dropped or copy and pasted images into the powerpoint as links instead of insert>picture> from file. It is always best practice to do it this way and make sure that Link is not checked when you insert. See if you can check the source of some of the images and verify if they are linked to a file or embedded into the document. Linking means the project is smaller because the linked objects are saved in the root folder with the powerpoint instead of actually embedded into the presentation.
