I created a PP on the MAC. I drug images from the web directly to the
presentation which worked fine. When I sent my PP to a PC, the images
would not load (could not read quicktime even though quicktime was
loaded). When I looked at the images, it said that it was a PICT. Is
there anyway to using this presentation created on the MAC with images
drug from the web on a PC? Many thanks.

This is another reason why you never want to drag images into PowerPoint. Not
from the web, not from anyplace else.

I'm afraid that there's not much you can do to get the files to open on PCs
other than re=adding the images. You'll want to save them from the web to your
computer, then use Insert, Picture, From File to bring them into PPT.
