ungrouping

Hi all -
Just to verify what seemed to be the conclusion of the previous ungrouping thread:

is it true that there is NO vector graphics format that PowerPoint 2008 can import and ungroup?

Like others in the previous thread, this functionality was important for me for scientific graphics purposes. I create graphs in Matlab and have imported them into PowerPoint as WMF files, which allows me to adjust the font sizes to make them appropriate for a presentation. I can export or convert to almost any vector format in existence (I've tried WMF, EMF, AI, SVG, PDF, EPS, PS, PICT), but everything I've tried so far hasn't worked. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Eric

This issue has forced me to go back to using an earlier version of powerpoint. Does anyone have a solution yet?

Unfortunately you've fallen prey to an improperly posted message which
refers to an earlier conversation - one which is nearly at its One Year
Anniversary. A search of the Forum using the Subject keyword: [ungrouping]
would have pointed you to this:

If it doesn't answer your questions please submit a NEW message with a
uniquely phrased Subject stating all particulars including your current
update level of Office as well as OS X. For future reference, REPLYING to
dead conversations which have been inactive for 3 months or more doesn't
provide the information needed for anyone to offer you a meaningful or
specific response... Much may well have changed since that conversation took
place - and died.
