Dsen,

Assuming you mean a header or footer....

Try View menu > headers and footers


If you mean a "postscript file" (e.g. eps, ai etc) then post back

Click to expand...

Assuming you mean "figures" in the sense of illustrations (see Fig. 42 below)
then:

Choose Insert, Picture, From File
Browse to the location of your EPS file and select it
Click Insert

Caveats:

- This applies to EPS (ie, Encapsulated PostScript) only. You can't insert
generic PostScript files into PowerPoint. PowerPoint will probably want the
file to have an .EPS extension before it'll recognize it as EPS.

- Whether or not you see a preview image instead of a gray box with some text in
it depends on whether the EPS has a preview image and/or the version of PPT you
use.

- EPS graphics are generally a losing proposition if you print to anything but
PostScript printers (or Adobe Acrobat, GhostScript or some other process that
includes a PS interpreter).

- EPS graphics are sometimes a losing proposition even if you DO print to a PS
printer from PowerPoint. Sigh.
