Sometimes, however, a picture doesn’t display properly, showing only a red X on the screen.
Here are some causes of this problem and troubleshooting steps to take to fix the issue.
refresh your Microsoft Office installation.
Sometimes if you’re not using the latest software version, you’ll experience some glitches.
set up the latest updates, then see if your pictures display properly.
Save the file to a new location.
If you save the file with the same filename, you might make a temporary missing picture problem permanent.
Instead, go toFile>Save Asand save the file to a different location with a different name.
Close PowerPoint and reopen the file to see if pictures display correctly.
Find the new location of the picture.
Do a quick search to locate the new home of this picture file.
See if a linked web image has been changed or deleted.
Email or copy the image with all files intact.
Turn off the Fast Save option.
Go toTools>Optionsand disableFast Save.
Install a graphics filter if prompted.
Sometimes a picture or clip requires a graphics filter.
Contact Microsoft Office help resources.
If all else fails, send an email through the web form to request help with your PowerPoint issue.
The picture may have been renamed, moved from its original location, or deleted from your box.
A missing PowerPoint update may also be the culprit.
