Converting Astound files to Powerpoint

[RalphN]

How can I convert Astound modules(files) to Powerpoint?

Hi,

From what I remember, you can't. I think though, I tried copy and paste
across. I'll have a play and try to remember.

Yep. Copy and paste. Rather a pain.

Does Astound not provide an export option for PowerPoint?

 

[Glen Millar]

Hi,

It does but either to images, which loses objects, or to something that only
Astound seems to be able to import.

Hi All,

How about exporting to an HTML and then opening in
PowerPoint? I've only tried the import PowerPoint into
Astound, never the other way.

Glenna,

Tried and failed. Neither static or dhtml works.

Although it is a good way to actually grab Astounds animation sets and
export them to an animated gif that actually works! Cool!

Not if it contains pangalactic kamikaze gargleblasters, it's not. Not for
long, anyhow.

Glenna/ Ralph,

Cracked it, sort of. Go to the slide sorter view in Astound. Copy the whole
slide. Go to PowerPoint. Paste special as a wmf onto the actual slide, in
slide view mode. Ungroup the pasted object, convert to a drawing object, and
ungroup again. All objects I tested it on come in OK, but you will have to
re-animate them.

Cool, if I may say so myself!
