Metafile Conversion

[Marco Rossi]

Hello

I have tried, using the SaveAs method provided in Visual Basic, to
convert a great many .ppt (PowerPoint presentation) filels to .emf
ones with no success

Apparent .emf files were synthesized with an extension of .emf when
the file-type option "ppSaveAsMetaFile" was employed designating the
new file name as one with the .emf extension. They were, however in fact
as content, .wmf files

Help would be appreciated with creating "genuine" .emf files by the
SaveAs method. Also a method for defining the pixels (horizontal x vertical)
of an .emf or .wmf file to be created and one for designating only the
first slide in each file would be fine

Thank you in advance

Marco

Hi, Steve.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I probably misunderstood the metafile formats, though created files
were fixed-sized and low-resolution.

My final goal is to make thousands of ppt files (each contains only
one slide) into jpg with a higher resolutions, not to get emf files.
I found a jpg option in the Save as command in the window file menu,
but the resulted file was with a low resolution by that, so I tried to
create "mediate" metafiles with a high resolution.

Could you tell me the best way to my goal.

Thank you.
