Edit -> Links If Links is greyed out, the picture is not linked. If Links is not greyed out, then the picture is linked. If you want to unlink it, click on on Links -> edit links. Select picture or pictures to be unlinked, click on "break link". An easier way to check in the first place, if you have the possibility, is to send the presentation by email to another computer (in our case, to the computer next to it on the bench). Look for any missing pictures. If there are any, then on the originating computer, select one of the pictures that is linked, do edit -> links etc., select all the pictures in the list (which, as far as I can see, is all the linked pictures in that particular presentation) click on Break links etc. Sorry - I gave you more info than you asked for. I was merely passing on everything I learnt when I had to solve the problem of inadvertently and incorrectly linked pictures on slides.
