Inserting PP Slides into Word
Hi
I am running Office 2003 on XP and I do a lot of design work in Powerpoint. I find that the best way to keep my designs as intended is to do a screen shot of them and then drop the image into whatever Word document I am working on. I then crop the screen shot leaving just the image. This works well but due to the quality of the printers I have to use the image can become a little fuzzy round the edges. I was thinking that if there was a way to save the screen shot as a jpg or similar then this might alleviate the problem. I have tried to copy the screen shot into Picture Manager and then crop and save but it doesnt seem to work. Does anyone know if this can be done either in Picture Manager or another free MS programme? Failing that any suggestions on how best to get complicated designs done in Powerpoint into other formats such as Word. I have tried the 'Grouping' option but it is weak and does stay together as intended. I have also tried the option for sending slides images to Word but it is messy and the image quality is actually better by doing a screen shot. Any suggestions please? Thanks |

Inserting PP Slides into Word
In Powerpoint, File, Send to, Microsoft Office Word. You will now see several
options, I usually use the top one (default). The newly created Word document will have the slides within a borderless table. You can now copy these images into your working document as required. The quality is not to bad and the images don't bloat the Word file size too much. Hope this helps DeanH "yellowhouse1976" wrote: Hi I am running Office 2003 on XP and I do a lot of design work in Powerpoint.

Inserting PP Slides into Word
I also like to import slides from PowerPoint into Word, but the method I have
found gives me the best quality is to Select All (Ctrl-A) in PP, group the objects, and copy the grouped image. Then in Word, I use Paste Special (under the Edit manu) to paste the image as "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)." The Enhanced Metafile has consistently given me the best quality of any of the options available. Then after I've pasted the picture into Word, I always right-click it and use Format Picture to put it in line with text. The quality is MUCH better than the bitmap you get when you do a screen shot.

Have you tried using PPT's File Save As, selecting one of the image formats
to save one or more slides as pictures, then using Insert Picture in Word? http://presentationsoft.about.com/od...ave_as_jpg.htm Another option -- though not free -- is SnagIt, if you prefer to take screen shots. For US $50 it's a great tool & offers a 30 day free trial. http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp You can also try Google or sites like VersionTracker.com or CNet.com for other screen capture software. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "yellowhouse1976" wrote in message ...

Inserting PP Slides into Word
I've tried saving my PowerPoint slides as JPGs, but I don't particularly like
that option. It saves the entire slide as an 8.5 x 11 JPG that I usually end up having to crop extensively. Most of the time when I'm creating pictures in PowerPoint, I don't fill the entire slide. By just selecting the objects I'm working with, my image is no larger than it needs to be.
