To all I ask: How do I save a picture that is in a PowerPoint slideshow a
friend sent....I have been searching the net but I have not found one or
really anything that says Vista on it.....I do not really have PowerPoint
software per say but I do have the Microsoft PowerPoint viewer.....Running
Vista business

Hi,

You need an application that can take apart the pps files, such as
PowerPoint. See if the friend that sent the file has powerpoint.

Hi,

You're right, it's not. Send the file to me at rick@mvps.org using a subject
line of 'per req' and include an indication of which image you want.

A quick and easy way is to simply use the Snipping tool and/or
Fastone to grab it from your screen. Get the image on your screen
and you can save it.

You are correct PowerPoint is not cheap. It is a part of MS Office. You
can, however, do what you want with it in OpenOffice.org's Impress - a pp
clone. It will import and export MS Office files. IMHO OO IMpress is much
easier to use than PowerPoint. A year of two ago I compiled the
information for our church directory in OO IMpress, exported to pp format
and submitted to Olan Mills - they processed it without incident.

I agree. This just needs a simple screengrab, followed by a bit of cropping
in an image editor.

With a high quality image, some detail would be lost. With this file (sent
to me last night), it's definitely the case. A fairly popular powerpoint
file I've seen before involving high quality nature images.

PowerPoint 2003.....Do you or anybody know whether it is compatible with
