dxf filter for Powerpoint 2003

[Guest]

Could you please suggest a filter I could use to import dxf files into
Powerpoint 2003? Earlier versions of Powerpoint had this filter built in (I
think it was 3rd party though) but 2003 version does not support dxf formats.

Maybe if you load the viewer:

You probably need the ActiveX Control to embed it in PowerPoint:

See here for instructions on how an ActiveX Control is registered in case it
doesn't do it on it's own:

Mscal.ocx

If Glenna's suggestions don't work, consider getting Corel Draw; it has the
most extensive import/export abilities of any app I've worked with and
generally plays nice w/ PPT.
