I received a Powerpoint presentation that contains a series of various
photographs. How can I copy and save an individual slide so that I can add it
to my wallpaper file?

You can save slides. You can save individual photographs embedded in the
slide. You cannot save a slide embedded with a photo(s) as wallpaper.
 
In the interim, I decided to try a screen sieze program, copied it, and saved it
as a bmp file. I then opened it in my photo imaging software, set it as
"Wallpaper", then stretched to fill the screen. Worked beautifully!

Bill,

-Right click on any photo in the power point slide and select "copy".
-Open a photo editor, MS Paint will do, in "edit" menu, select paste.
-Save photo to "My Pictures" or any other folder on your computer with a
distinguishing name. Recommend saving photo in jpeg format.
-From Display Properties, set wallpaper as the photo you just saved.
 
You could have also viewed the presentation at full screen mode, hit the
"Print Screen" button on the keyboard, pasted the screen capture into MS
Paint, and then saved it from there as a BMP file.
 
Ian,

When I right click on a PP slide, the window has no option to "copy"! If I
Cntl+C, it doesn't work either - there's nothing to paste!

It probably depends on whether you have the viewer, Power Point, or the
program included in Openoffice.org I can't remember its name now.
