I can (apparently) view the graphics using Crossover Office and Powerpoint. I see a big aspirin tablet with circular arrows on it. On Wed, 10 Nov 2004 08:10:51 -0800, Pat R.

:( - I guess something specific to my installation. What version of MS Office and wine are you using?

Hi Pat, Mark is using Crossover Office, which is Not The Same, so it may very well not be a problem with your system or installation. I don't have PowerPoint, so I can't check any of this, but I have a guess about what's going on. My guess is that PowerPoint is using oleaut32.dll, "OLE automation," to load the image. WineHQ's implementation of oleaut32 is not so complete yet. It has the ability to use jpeglib and libgif to load jpegs and gifs, and it knows about Windows bitmaps and icons. Your image is a PNG, and oleaut32 doesn't seem to handle those so far. Here are some things you could do to test this: 1) Look for debugging output - when you run PowerPoint, is Wine complaining with various oleaut fixme messages? Especially about unknown image types? 2) Try running powerpoint with a native Windows oleaut32.dll - put the Windows oleaut32.dll in the windows/system directory that Wine knows about, and then use a command line like WINEDLLOVERRIDES="oleaut32=n" wine SOMETHING.EXE 3) Create a document that's the same, with the same image, but converted to a JPEG or GIF or BMP first. You could also use the native oleaut32 in general if it makes PowerPoint work better. - Walter On Wed, 10 Nov 2004, Pat R.
