Save as jpg problem in PPT 2007

[Guest]

I seem to have a problem saving my slides into image formats using PPT 2007.
When I go to "Save As" a jpg format, the slide is cropped - only the image in
the upper left quadrant of my slide is seen in the jpg picture.

I didn't have this problem in PPT 2003; also, if I save the PPT slides into
the 2003 format, and go to another computer with 2003 and save as jpg, I have
no problems.

Any suggestions on what is going on in 2007 and/or possible solutions?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

I haven't run into this with "vanilla" PPT 2007 but *have* run into a similar
sounding bug doing slide exports to jpg/png/etc at anything over PPT's default
resolution of 960x720 (or 960 wide by whatever's proportional to your slide
size).

There's a registry patch that enables you to get higher resolution exported
images from PPT 2003. Did you apply this patch to 2007 (or to 2003 and then
upgrade to 2007)?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I did change the default resolution for
exporting pictures in PPT - you think this is the problem then? Is there
anyway to get around it w/o having to go back to the default?

Thanks for letting me know. I've already reported other bugs in this general area,
I'll pass this one along as well.

I don't know of any way around the problem w/in PPT, other than reverting to 2003,
or earlier, where the problem doesn't exist.

If you have Acrobat, you could send the slides to a PDF file then export images from
the PDF and get excellent quality.
