[comp.sys.mac.apps] 2 Power questions w/ Powerpoint

 Hi, I am testing the software Powerpoint and I have two questions:

1.  when I copy some pict files images from other softwares and save them
    in the scrapbook, I am able to paste the pictures in Powerpoint w/o 
    any problem.  But w/ the same pictures + a one line title, when I try
    to copy the image from PP, a message says   

           Sorry, memory was too full to draw everything - some parts are
           not shown.

     And then nothing (not some parts) was copied to the scrapbook!!  what
     is going on? 
       This also happens when i select slide view; the text are shown, but
     not the pictures, and the same message appears.

           I have 5 meg of memory, about a total of 1.5 meg going
     to the system and finder, 1.2 meg used for PP, and with more than 2 megs
     left not doing anything.  

2.  When I use the option -save slides as pictures in scrapbook-, it saves the
   files into little mac icons as the one found inside the system folder.  
   How can I access these files again (they are not in the scrapbook).


   Any help on the subject is appreciated, Thanks.

Open your System Folder and rename the file "Scrapbook file" to "Old Scrapbook"

Next, rename one of the "mac icons" you mentioned to "Scrapbook file" and put
it into the System Folder.

Open the Scrapbook.  There they are!
