Depends on your version of PowerPoint. Right click your image and see if you
get a pop up menu with a "Save as Picture" option. If so save your image in
a format of your choice.
Which version of PowerPoint are you using? AFAIK, there are no free updates.
You however, depending on your version be able to purchase an update version
for a cheaper price than a full new version you might also want to look here http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/downloads/default.aspx?ofcresset=1
