What extension to save scanned picture to Powerpoint 97?

I'm scanning a picture from my printer and I'm trying to bring it into
PowerPoint 97, but it doesn't recognize any of the file extenions I'm using.
What do I have to do?

What was the original file format scanned? PowerPoint works well with .jpeg
and .png, I tend to stick to those. .jpg for anything that doesn't require
transparency, .png for images that need transparency.

I ask what the original scan format is because if you are just changing the
extension then you have not changed the picture format. You can't name a
picture.TIFF as a picture.PNG and expect PowerPoint to be happy. You will
need something like Photoshop to re-save the picture for you and change the
compression format.

Hope this helps!

and I don't remember if PPT97 played nice with .PNG, so I would stick to
..JPG/.JPEG if you can!
