From: Dave Jenkins on 11 Dec 2008 18:44 Using PowerPoint 2007 SP1, Windows XP3, processing a .ppt file. When I go into slideshow mode, I get a Security Alert popup that says "Warning: This document references pictures in untrusted locations." and it offers to block the references. (Go here: http://screencast.com/t/KSJVXZjrF to see a screenshot of the actual popup.) How can I find the reference or references that are causing the warning to appear? I have tried binary halving the file in an attempt to isolate a slide that prompts the warning, but that technique won't work - I got down to the last slide and removed all content on it and *still* got the popup. Thanks. -- Dave Jenkins K5KX

A picture that's been copy/pasted from the internet into the slide master, perhaps? ============================== PPT Frequently Asked Questions http://www.pptfaq.com/ PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint http://www.pptools.com/

From: Dave Jenkins on 12 Dec 2008 16:18 First, the abject confession: I *was* able to find the object - I guess my binary search of the files was flawed. Next, the object that prompted the popup *was* an embedded picture - shape type 10 (msoLinkedPicture). But as a final note, I think it's unconscionable that MS would put up an alert popup such as that without identifying the cuasative slide(s), shape(s) and their links. JMHO. Thanks for all the helpful input - you guys rock! -- Dave Jenkins K5KX "Dave Jenkins" wrote: > Using PowerPoint 2007 SP1, Windows XP3, processing a .ppt file. > > When I go into slideshow mode, I get a Security Alert popup that says > "Warning: This document references pictures in untrusted locations." and it > offers to block the references.

Tie the idiot that wrote this error message to the "File not found" author, add weights, marinate well in about 2 fathoms of ocean ... the world could be a better place.
