How do I save a Powerpoint slide as a 400 DPI tif or ps/eps file?

[bhfailor]

I create figures in Powerpoint and want to export them for publication in a
journal, for example. The journal only accepts eps, ps, and tif formats.
The journal wants line drawings at 600 dpi and color/grayscale at ~400 dpi.
Anyway to create the necessary file from a powerpoint file? I have both XP
and Mac versions of powerpoint available.

What Steve said.

What I would do is save the PPT slides as WMF or EMF, open those in
Illustrator, and then save as EPS. I'd also convert the text to outlines
before saving the EPS.

When you save as EPS in Illo, you won't get an option to set PPI (DPI)
because EPS is vector and it doesn't matter. If your slides are text,
charts, tables, clipart, and/or drawn autoshapes and lines, I'd do EPS. If
you have images on your slides, I'd go the TIF route. If you export (use
File-->Export in Illo) as an image type (PNG, TIF, whatever), you'll have a
chance to set the PPI (DPI).
