Cross Platform Pictures in PowerPoint

Help!

I have been creating sales presentations on my new MacBook Pro, using
PowerPoint 2004. In the creation of the slides, I often use photo's,
most often in jpeg format, occassionally in png format. Of late, when
I have shared the presentation with a co-worker, customer or simply on
my Windows desktop machine, the photo images are not displayed. This
morning as I was to present the slide show, a white box was displayed
on the windows based system with a message that read;

"Quicktime and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see
this picture".

How do I avoid this so that in the future I can with view the
presentations either on my Mac Book Pro or on a windows based system
reliably?

Thanks in advance for all sugestions.

Hi Dale,

The quick answer is to not paste pictures into PowerPoint. Instead, use
Insert > Picture > From File using the menus or click the Insert Picture
button on the Drawing toolbar.

For a more detailed explanation have a look at this page:
