Re: security alert

Cut the picture (Ctrl+X) on the slide, then Paste Special (on the Home Tab) and choose PNG.

Not sure, but I think this will weed out the HTML tag that references the webpage you copied the graphic from.

You shouldn't paste web graphics directly into PPT for this reason.

I suspect this is related:

I have a single slide with only one item in it. It contains the logo of a
potential customer captured from their website. When opening the Power Point
in 2007, a security warning states:

“References to external pictures have been blocked. If you choose to enable
the content, you may be loading content from remote locations, which presents
a security risk.”

Then farther down it states:
“Warning: This document references pictures in untrusted locations. These
references have been blocked.”

Does anyone know what might be going on with this graphic to generate this
security alert?

Thank you.
