Printing graphics in Powerpoint that were created in Photoshop

[Guest]

Hi,
Can you tell me how come graphics that I created in Photoshop appear to have
jagged edges once I print them out in powerpoint? They look fine when I
project the slide, but not when I print out. Is this the same problem as the
jaggies in the 3D pie or is there soemthing I can do to make it look better?
Thanks

How did you insert the images into PowerPoint? Did you save them first to a
graphics file on your hard drive?

It is strongly recommended that you save the images as graphic files on the
hard drive, then insert the graphics file into the presentation. In most
cases, cut and paste is a bad choice when dealing with PowerPoint.

PowerPoint smooths the edges of graphics on screen. It doesn't do that when
printing. In addition, the typical screen only has 1024 dots across where a
printout may have that many per inch, so it shows more flaws. Your images may
simply be too low-rez.

What size, in pixels, are the images and how big are they on your printouts?
