Importing a "shape" from an external program as vector data???

[-chris]

Does anyone know of a way to import a "shape" created in an external program
(ie. Illustrator) into powerpoint NOT as an image but as vector data so that
it can be filled and effected like any other shape?

I've tried everything i can think of & looked everywhere for this.

Thanks!

If Illustrator is installed on the same computer as PowerPoint, you can try
a copy & paste. If not, save the image in EMF file format and ungroup after
inserting into PowerPoint.
