Try this in Office X Open presentation Choose save as Change format to TIFF (or JPEG or whatever you want) Aah. We interpreted the question two totally different ways. I read it as how do I extract image files embedded in Office documents, so that I can work with them as normal, independent image files. You appear to have read it as how do I save a presentation as a series of images. So the solution you mention (which IMHO I would call reasonably user friendly given the task), while perfectly valid, answers a different question to what I was answering. I'd be interested to hear from the original poster, Sephen Chape, as to whether he's solved the issue. -- Craig Ringer
Exporting images from Powerpoint ?
Hi folks, Does anyone know how to get the images off a Powerpoint presentation as individual JPG's ? I must be dumb or blind because I cannot see it in the help menus. Or perhaps it is not in the help menus phew !! Regards, Stephen Chape

Hi folks, Does anyone know how to get the images off a Powerpoint presentation as individual JPG's ? I must be dumb or blind because I cannot see it in the help menus. Or perhaps it is not in the help menus phew !! You don't mention the version of PowerPoint, but in vX and 2004 at least you can export a series of jpgs by selecting JPG in the Save As menu. The options button gives finer control as to the resolution / compression etc. I've had luck with some difficult slides just by doing a screen capture and converting to .jpg with Preview also. Hope this helps. Steve
