Is there a solution to this, or is just Impress simply fubar'd? Its there and then suddenly without warning it goes away leaving this icon with 3 squares and 3 dots in the upper LH corner of the slide. It is an image that has been copied and pasted. When I do Google searches for this problem, I find lots of complaints about it but I have not yet found a solution.Īnd if someone tells me its a stale link in my presentation I will scream I HATE PPT!!!! But it does not delete these images. I have recently begun saving my slide sets in ppt format and working with them in ppt to avoid this problem.

I have several slides sets that I have maintained for several years and some perfect image I found several years ago mysteriously disappears!?!?!?!įinding a replacement is sometimes difficult and always time consuming. Sometimes, when I go to the slide in Normal view, there will be an icon with 3 squares and 3 dots and when I click on it nothing happens. I have to do this every couple minutes on several slides in my deck. If I delete the image and do undo (alt e u) then it appears normal. its on the left) in Normal mode or Notes mode becomes blurry or is completely gone in the preview pane. Then for some strange reason, the slides in the preview pane (I am not sure what it's called. They are NOT links!!! They are generally JPEGs. I am building slide set including images that I copy and paste to a slide. This problem is getting impossible and I need a fix for it. It says the problem was fixed in AOO 4.1.1. I just did a Google search 'Images missing in Impress presentation' and came to an older discussion that is NOT at all helpful.
