..JPG images do not need any conversion for use in PowerPoint. Just use Insert |
Picture | From file... and navigate to your jpg image.

!. My grand-daughter wants to have a PowerPoint slide show of our holiday.
2. Having started to try to do it I have become obstinate!

If you open PowerPoint and start a new presentation, then you go to Insert >
Picture > Picture from File, you can then browse to the location of your JPGs
and select one. It will be inserted on the slide. Is this not working for you?

Please tell us more about the problem that you are encountering.

I can think of one big problem. It does not seem possible to link to a jpg
file, so the ppt needs to be manually updated, whereas a bmp file can be
linked to and updates the ppt automatically. True?

Reason for reformatting JPEG/JPG images into a powerpoint could simply be to
move one powerpoint presentation from a secret network onto a Non-secret
network. When doing this, we have to use a process that only converts
JPEG/JPG file formats and NOT .ppt formats, therefore when we put the
document back together, is there a way to convert the JPEG/JPG file into a
slide that can be text edited?
