Is there a way to stop powerpoint from crashing when loading a powerpoint that has images?

I have recently installed microsoft office 365 on crossover, since I need to be able to use at least the 2016 version of excel. I've gotten excel, word, and outlook working as expected, but powerpoint is proving to be a struggle. On the office 365 version of powerpoint, it will work fine, until the moment images are involved. If i try to load a pptx document with images in it, occasionally loads the document properly, but the rest of the time it just crashes. The 2016 version works most of the time until you try to manipulate an image, where it then crashes. I've tried changing wine windows versions, enabling software rendering, and esync in different combinations. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. The only version of powerpoint that works reliably is 2007 which i installed under wine a while back (which is the only older version i can try) or something like libreoffice impress. While technically there's no reason why i couldn't use either of those two, it would be nice to have a newer version of powerpoint working, preferably office 365 (but 2016 would be nice too). Is there any workaround for this? For now, I'll just use powerpoint 2007 instead of 365 since it fulfills my needs.
