Help please. Change Picture in powerpoint is pale (not working)
Hello,
I hope i can find an answer here as i couldnt get an answer from microsoft. I am trying to replace a photo in a slideshow template i bought with cool animations and transitions, but for some mysterious reason powerpoint doesnt allow me to change the picture and makes the 'change picture' button pale colored, thus, unclickable. I attach the link to the screenshot and the discussion on microsoft.

Any help is thanked.

Thank you lovely experts for the great information. I will check the solutions this evening aftet returning from my 9-to-5 and will post the result. I just still cannot believe the official support guys in Office do not have expert training in Power Point, its like a car manufacturer who doesnt have trained service teams supporting their own car buyers. I was transferred from one support team to the other then finally offered to pay them 60 USD for them to enter virtually my screen without any guarantee they would know what is going on there... thank goodness for finding Expert Exchange, i dont know what i would do really without your help! Your loyal new fan!

Dear Jamie,
It works like a charm! You saved my day. Thank you so much.
Microsoft thinks my template is defective. That is not right.

That's great news. As a new user, don't forget to mark my response as the answer in order to close the question and award points. Thank you for that and the link too (note that the other forum you posted on is not a Microsoft support forum but another community so you may get answers from non-Microsoft people).
