[Kellie M]

Hello,

I am running Powerpoint 97.

I have imported a graphic from Corel Draw 8, into the
powerpoint presentation 97, and the graphic is extremly
blurred. how can I correct this problem or make it more
crisp.

Please advise,

Thanks

Please tell us more about the graphic. What type is it? Have you stretched
it or left it at it's original size?

I have strecteded the picture in PowerPoint XP and the
picture appears to be fine, but when I pulled it into a
powerpoint 97 version the picture has lost it's original
state. The original graphic was saved has a "Corel Draw
Graphic"

Also, is it possible for me to pull in other powerpoint
Templates from other powerpoint templates if so, could you
explain how that is preformed. Thanks

I'm not sure that I understand the PowerPoint 97 part. Did you copy and
paste into PowerPoint 97 or did you insert the original image?

I also don't understand your template question. Can you tell us what you
want to do?

PowerPoint Version 97, From Microsoft Office Suite 97 that
where I got the 97 from. What I did was Copied the Graphic
picture the "Corel Draw Application" into Microsoft Word
and save that copied picture to my picture files. After I
did that I opened the : Microsoft Office 97 PowerPoint
Presentation, then I opened a blank slide and inserted the
graphic picture from my picture file and inserted the
graphic picture, which I needed to make the picture fit
the normal side of the default slide. This is when I
experience the problem with the picture not being clear or
blurred. Now when I have the picture in Microsoft Office
XP I don't experience the problem.

Thanks,

Copying and pasting and stretching is possibly/probably responsible for the
blurriness. There are others who use Corel Draw regularly so I will defer
to them because I don't currently have it installed to test with. However,
as I recall there are other formats that you can directly save your image to
which PowerPoint accepts and then use the Insert > Picture > Picture from
File function in PowerPoint. Also, I would try to size the image correctly
in Draw before saving it, if it is a raster image, rather than stretching it
in PowerPoint.

Calling all Corel Draw users for help! What format should Kellie be using?
