4.1.7 adding audio deletes pics

Post by charliet »

Having a strange issue with 4.17.
If I add a picture to a slide and then add audio - the picture (jpg etc) gets deleted.
Through experimentation I have discovered that adding the audio clip first and THEN the picture - it seems to stick, but this seems unreliable and obviously something amiss.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution ?

Update:
I seem to have discovered a way to avoid this and it's possible I was not using the product correctly.
By changing the slide format to use multiple frames (as opposed to just a blank frameless slide) you can add pictures and audio to particular FRAMES and everything appears to perform normally (properly). Adding the audio to a particular frame avoids bothering pics or text etc in other frames
