Tried to open a ppt file created on a PC. The file contained a slide
with two large scanned images. When clicking through the slides
Powerpoint crashed when it attempted to open this slide. When trying to
open slide sorter view, Powerpoint crashed.

Hi, whenever I create a powerpoint with pictures from the internet on
