Default READING JPEG FILES

I would like to be able to incorporate digital photos
that are jpeg files into a PowerPoint slide show. When I
attempt to open the files, PowerPoint gives a message
that it cannot open jpeg files. Can someone please tell
me how to open these files or how to convert them to a
format that PowerPoint can handle.

Thanks much.

Barry

Barry,

Things to try

(1 )Does the file have a 4 letter extension (e.g. mypicture.JPEG)

Try renaming it to .JPG e.g. mypicture.JPG

(2) Does powerpoint have a problem with all JPGs? or just your digital camera JPGs?

(3) Does your current powerpoint installation include the "JPG" filter.

Re-run your office/powerpoint setup.exe from the original CD

Cheers

You can't open them using FileOpen, if that's how you're doing it.
Instead use InsertPicturefrom file. This will place your picture on the
current slide.

If you are using this method and still no luck, in addition to TAJ's
suggestions, is it possible that your images are CMYK JPEGs? If so you'll
need to convert them to RGB before PowerPoint will like them.
