how to increase file resolution when saving file?

[resolution]

I am using Microsoft Powerpoint 2000 to draw figures for publication in
scientific journal. I hope to save file at at least 300 dpi in TIFF file. I
can save them at TIFF file, but I could not increase the resolution. If I
could not increase the resolution, the figure will not be clear. How to
increase TIFF file resolution when drawing or saving them? Thanks.

PowerPoint is designed as a multimedia resolution (approx. 72dpi)
application. Any way to increase the resolution would be interpolating it,
which is not going to provide the best results. I would recomend using a
program that supports high-resolution output (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Corel,
Publisher...).

And now you can ignore that Steve guy - at least when it comes to describing
DPI... Pixel size just is not used when desiging for print. (And just for
reference, all of this online jesting is just said in fun - right Steve?).

DPI is only part of the equalation when it comes to print design. 300 DPI is
the standard high-resolution print standard of a 100% size image. So if the
publication page is 8" wide x 10.5" tall (standard magazine sizing), then
the largest image needed would be 8"x10.5" @ 300 DPI (ignoring
bleed/oversizing).

But if you are locked into using PPT, then Steve's advise is the best you
can hope to do with PPT as your design tool.
