CMYK in PowerPoint 2007?

[Greg V]

Does anyone know if there will there be support for CMYK in PowerPoint 2007?
I'm working with beta 2 and do not see this as of yet.

Thanks!

Isn't color management an issue on operating system level? And neither
Windows 2000 nor XP can handle CMYK on a PC. I haven't heard of any change
in this direction with Vista.

Best regards,
Ute

I would also guess that since PowerPoint is still a presentation (primarily)
software, the emphasis would stay on screen color -- RGB.

However, since you will be printing the slide image (why else would you need
CMYK?), why not choose one of the Save As... image types that can then be
converted to CMYK formats via one of the Adobe or Corel products?

Yes, I know it would be nice if every program exported to every format, but
I would expect one of MS's print programs (such as Publisher or Word) to
embrace CMYK before I would expect a display program (such as PowerPoint).
