Screen shots into PowerPoint

B

Bob

I'm taking screen shots of a web page to drop into
PowerPoint to construct a training slide show on how to
use the web site. When I either past or insert the
screen shot I loose sharpness in the graphic (the web
page becomes a jpeg when done with a screen shot). I've
tried photo shop and few other product to sharpen the
JPEG more but it still drops when it goes into PowerPoint.

Try using GIFs or PNGs for screen shots. Also, I use HyperSnap-DX for
screen shots rather than the clipboard. Others may pop in with other ideas.

I like snagit (http://techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp) for screen
captures, or capturing windows/portions of screens/etc. Save as a .jpeg or
..png.

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

If you know at what resolution you presentation will be shown, you can
adjust the size of any raster image or movie for best viewing by doing the
following for eadh image/movie in a presentation:

1) Select image/movie
2) Format -> Picture
3) Switch to the "Size" tab or the dialog
4) Select the option to scale "Best scale for slide show" andthen
5) Choose the target resolution from the drop-down list that becomes
available, and
6) Click OK
7) If the image/movie changed size, you might have to readjust it's
position (not size) relative to everything else on the slide to accomodate
the change.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions for how to
make this easier to do in PowerPoint (without having to resort to VBA or
add-ins), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to
Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
