How to save as picture, preserving 100% quality?

I use PowerPoint 2000 (+SP3).
When I try to "save as" .JPG or even .BMP, the outcome quality
is very bad compare to the text in the .PPT file.
I choose a very easy font (Ariel). The content is text only.
For JPG, I am not even given the choice of output quality
(something I have never seen before with any application).
And even BMP format is not really preserving the original quality
even though the file is huge and suppose to preserve 100%.

So what can be done?
Is PP 2003 doing a better job?
Any other tool to create a quality picture?

Thanks,
David
 
The fact is, PPT is NOT an image editor, it's a presentation package meant
to IMPORT data to present, not export it for other uses. <g> If you want
to create images you should really use something better suited to the task.

Thanks.
That's why my 3rd question is shopping for recommendation of an
alternative...

I solved the problem as follows:
I have Adobe Acrobat. So from within any Office product, including PPT,
using Acrobat, I can produce and 'Save As' files, in a very high quality
and in a variety of formats, including of course .PDF and .JPG.
Then, with Adobe Photoshop, I can resize an .JPG file (again, as one of many
formats) preserving top (or any chosen compromise size<->quality) quality
file and use it were I want.

This totally solved the problem.

Thanks anyway,
David
