Nice one ... thanks for posting that. If I get a chance I'll do some testing to see if
I can learn anything about links to images with spaces in the name, too.

Does this mean that spaces are not valid in a PowerPoint 2007 link file name?
Not that I know of, at lest not for normal image links (insert, picture from file,
choose link). For linked objects, spaces might indeed cause trouble.
So I would have to use code similar to your reference to change all the
linked names to remove spaces and also change all the file names to remove
spaces.
Other way around. You'd need to change the filenames first; PowerPoint won't let
you link to a file that's not there.
Thanks

When I move from 2003 to 2007 some of my linked images fail to show up. I get
a red X. The images that do not show up have a space in the file name. Can I
change the link name so that these images will be found?
Assuming you first rename the image files to eliminate the space there also,
this should help:
Show me the link and let me edit it
