Graphics go fuzzy in PowerPoint 2007

In PowerPoint I have examples of printed design work which we show to clients
as a printed and bound book.

The document is set up as A4 using PowerPoint 2002 – all graphics are
inserted at 300dpi to 600dpi (jepg basline optimized at 9). The prints look
great in PowerPoint 2002, but open the file up and save it in PowerPoint 2007
and they degrade and look fuzzy. I have tried unchecking ‘Automattically
perform basic compression on save’ but it still downgrades the images.

Printing is done on a high quality Xerox printer that can print up to 1,200
dpi (but you don’t notice a difference on pictures between 600dpi and
1,200dpi) – so having a high dpi is critical, especially as we often output
the files to A4 and scale to fit A3.

Hi Geetesh,

Thanks to your scrapbook link I see where I was going wrong. When setting
the compression off I was ok'ing both dialog boxes which I thought would
have accepted my changes - but instead it seems to apply compression. Now
that I only ok the bit where I turn off the "Automatically perform basic
compression on save" and cancel the next box - then everything is ok.

Thanks very much for that - was driving me nuts.

Regards

Carl
