How to copy several slides simultaneously from powerpoint to words

[Guest]

Dear all,

Office 2003 SP1 & Windows XP Pro SP2,

When I used Office 97 and W98SE, I used to be able to select several slides
from the slides/outline pane (Ctrl and click select) in PowerPoint 97 and
then Edit -> Paste Special -> Picture (Windows Metafile) in Word 97. Now, it
seems when I did it with Office 2003 suite and Windows XP Pro, only the first
slide get pasted but not the remaining. Is it possible to do what I wanted to
do with Office 2003 and Windows XP? Thanks for your advice.

PS: I searched the newsgroup but what they have was Select and Send to
Words, which included each slide and notes as separate, or just to send
notes. Neither was what I wanted.

Try File > Send to > MS Office Word instead. See if it works for you.

Apology, missed out your personal note.
You might want to delete the lines manually, or,

Click File > Save As. Under Save as type, select a picture format (e.g. jpg).
Then go to MS Word, click Insert > Picture > from file.
Highlight all the pictures you want to insert and click OK.

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately File -> Save As -> picture
format is not available in my powerpoint (Office 2003). Would appreciate
further idea/advice.

hi tohlz,

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately File -> Save As -> picture
format is not available in my powerpoint (Office 2003). Would appreciate
further idea/advice.

This command is available in all versions of PowerPoint.

In more detail, then:

From the main PPT menu, click File

Click Save As ...; The Save As dialog box appears.

At the bottom of the Save As dialog box, look for "Save as type:"

This contains a list of different file types you can choose.
If you scroll down the list, you'll see GIF, PNG, JPG and several other image file
types. Choose the one that suits you best.

Give the file a name (in the "File name:" text box) and click Save.

PowerPoint asks if you want to export just the current slide or the whole
presentation. If you choose just the current slide, it exports it to the file name
you chose. If you go for the whole presentation, it creates a new FOLDER using the
name you chose and puts an image from each slide into that folder.

Thank you again to Steve and tohlz, your suggestions worked (not the way I
used to with Office 97 but worked nevertheless) - I am not sure what was
going on with my machine but I saw what you meant when I did it on a
different machine. It is all sorted now by a simple switching on-off of my
machine.
