Quicktime and Decompressor Required to view this image

I have had a similar problem with Powerpoint.

I'm not sure what causes this, but a work-around for me is to drag the image from Safari to the desktop and then drag the file from the desktop into Powerpoint.

Also, I've tried various methods and dragging the image from Internet Explorer straight into Powerpoint seems to work also.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...

Anything files you copy/paste from a browser is in HTML format and likely to be in either GIF or JPEG or JPG format. Perhaps Illustrator needs those files reformatted before they can be imported.

Try dragging one of those images to your Desktop. Then launch the Preview application. From the Menu Bar, cilck File/Open and navigate to that image. Then from the Menu Bar, File / Save As. In the Save As window click the Format pop up menu. Select a format that Illustrator can read... try Photoshop or TIFF. Then drag that reformatted image to the Illustrator window.

There is an easy solution to this (that took me hours to find).

Save as the powerpoint to the Tiff funtion. It will put all of the slides into a separate window. Open up a new powerpoint and select "big picture" for the slide and then DRAG (not copy and paste as this will not work) the tiff slide onto the new slide and "pop" it in place. works great
