Thanks for info Jim... problem is I don't see those symbols you're
referring to. I was however able to get through to the files I wanted
and get a preview in the next pane. But this is not how the PC
version of PP worked. In the PC version, I would highlight the slide
in the slide view> right click>slide background. In slide background
window>scroll down the drop down menu>fill effects>picture tab>select
picture. This would take me to my photos and display all of them...
about 4 wide and all the way down (16 per page?). There I would
scroll through the whole list relatively easy and select the image I
wanted.
Are you telling me I can't see all my pictures this way? That I have
to go through one at a time? Yikes! Can't I simply see all my pics
and images like in the iphoto, library... all at once? It would seem
awefully tedious to go through one at a time. Please Help!

Hi,

The capabilities of what happens in that particular dialog box is dependent
upon what the operating system allows applications to do.

Since Office 2004 was made (think back at least 4 years or even more to the
design time - OX 10.1 maybe) the capabilities of MacOS have changed.

The features for Office 2008 are probably already cast in stone by now, but
you should send feedback to Microsoft requesting this functionality.

Use the Help menu and there's a feedback option for sending feature
requests.

It's good that you also posted here, as like-minded people will find out
they, too, can send their feature requests to Microsoft.

-Jim
