AAHHH! I just upgraded to PowerPoint for Mac, Office 2016, and I'm getting this same error. I spent a whole week on a presentation that I'm doing to tomorrow and almost all of my images have disappeared. THIS IS TERRIBLE! I'm not sure what I'm going to do. 

'The image part with relationship ID rId2 was not found in the file'

Is there a fix for this?? Preferably before tomorrow morning? These are all images that I either created or pulled as screen shots. (All jpegs.) 

PLEASE HELP!

    The issue is what it is.

    If a slide deck was damaged by an old build, you have re-create it in the current build.

    There is nothing that will automatically fix a damaged deck.

    Hello,

    Is it possible to re-open this issue? I just experienced this problem on a 78 slide deck in version 15.36 (170702) on Mac. Nearly 2/3 of the hundreds of images in the deck were affected. It took me 2 hours to assess which images belonged on which slide, and to redo the deck.

    The deck was stored in a Dropbox folder and then copied into a Google Drive folder.

    Thank you,

    Aaron

    Don't kid yourself. Open Source software has its share of bugs and problems, too.
