Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 127325
IMPRESS picture ( jpegs ) seem to get randomly lost, such that making a presentation is impossible

I have a large number of pictures spread over several slides. Some of the pictures get lost on slides, seemingly randomly. This is making IMPRESS virtually unusable for a slide presentation I need to do. The "lost" pictures whilst editing seem to show on the slide as a "box" with an Icon inside it, but no image. If I correct and re-paste the required pictures, save the file, then it seems as though I now loose several different pictures. Unless I am making some fundamental errors, this tool, for this requirement is virtually unusable. I am not a PC nor development whizz, just a user. I would welcome suggestions, and having seen a previous report of what seemed like a similar problem I raised some of the settings under memory settings, this has not seemed to make any improvement. This is only using .odp files, no .ppt files involved at all.
Inserting lot of pictures can increase file size dramatically. To avoid this, you can "minimize" your presentation (Tools menu). Next time, please use end-user forum or mailing list for this kind of problem.
