Slide Import problem

[glen.e.mettler]

I created a Microst Document Imaging (MDI) file from Excel. The MDI is
only supported in 2003. When I try to import the MDI file into
Powerpoint, I get a message that says I can't do that.

I have an Excel sheet that contains data that I have formatted to fit
on 15 pages. I can preview and print these pages as hard copy but I
also need to take them to Powerpoint for presentation purposes. I used
the MDI because it automatically copies the pages of data into separate
pages. Otherwise I have to cut and paste each pageindividually.


Most of the people I support do not have Office 2003 and cannot read
the MDI file. Anybody know a way I can convert this file to import
into Powerpoint or a better way of getting my 15 Excel pages into
Powerpoint?

I believe that you can export the pages of the MODI file as TIFF. You could
then import those pages into the PPT (one per slide or all per slide and
animated). Would that work?

You sure can. Handy feature.
