Powerpoint 2013: How to find linked pictures?

[downunder]

Hi.



There is a pptx file with some embedded pictures and some which are linked to. On a colleague's PC, the links don't work, so I have to replace them with embedded pics.
On my PC the links work fine, so I cannot see which pictures are embeded and which are linked.

How do I distinguish linked pictures from embedded pictures?

Thx for help

You might get a clue by going to File > Info > Edit Links (on the right)

Other wise you may need to use some vba code

If you don't know how try here

'Code
Sub findLinks()
Dim oshp As Shape
Dim osld As Slide
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Type = msoLinkedPicture Then
With osld.Shapes.AddShape(msoShape12pointStar, Left:=oshp.Left, Top:=oshp.Top, Width:=20, Height:=20)
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbRed
End With
End If
If oshp.Type = msoPlaceholder Then
If oshp.PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType = msoLinkedPicture Then
With osld.Shapes.AddShape(msoShape12pointStar, Left:=oshp.Left, Top:=oshp.Top, Width:=20, Height:=20)
.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbRed
End With
End If
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub
