Thanks for the response. This is more info on what I am trying to do.
I am currently using the Live Web program on my office pc. The way our
system is setup is that I can create powerpoint presentations on my computer
then I can upload them to the harddrive of the computer on the production
floor. The computer on the floor uses powerpoint to run the file I uploaded
on a big screen t.v..
The problem is that the computer on the floor has no access to the internet.
So let's say powerpoint on my computer has a slide in it that is linked to
CNN's homepage. I'm trying to figure out how to save that page as an image
then I want to upload th image to the harddrive of the computer on the
production floor where it can be displayed on that monitor. Hope this helps
because I need help.
Please tell me more about this "That part's simple enough to do manually or
via VBA (the Save As dialog box

let you
