Could you email me the presentation (up to 10 megs) or post a site I can
down load it from so that I can try this on my system. This will help to
determine if the problem is machine based, or in the presentation itself. I
will not disclose the contained information or content to anyone else.
If your presentation is over 10 megs, try trimming it down to a couple of
slides and re-saving as a new name (do not change your original). Try the
insert from file and see if this smaller presentation continues to fault, if
it does -- send it along.
