Problem You open a presentation created on a Mac in a Windows version of PowerPoint and get a message similar to this: QuickTime(TM) and a Photo - JPEG decompressor are needed to see this picture. (It might mention TIFF or some other decompressor instead) Solution <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;198204&Product=ppt>PPT2000: QuickTime PICT Placeholder Appears in Place of Graphic The problem, in a nutshell, is that PowerPoint/Windows doesn't support QuickTime compression. To solve the problem, you'll need to re-save then re-insert the graphic into PowerPoint on the Mac. Open the original graphic in the program that created it Choose File, Save As Select No Compression in the save options Switch to PowerPoint, choose Insert, Picture, From File and choose the newly saved picture. These instructions are very generic. The menu options for your graphics program will be different; you'll probably need to do some experimenting to find the right set of options. We'd like to hear about it in the PowerPoint newsgroup (Mac or PC) if you come up with a good recipe that you'd like to have posted here.
