Question regarding Power Point

[Ron Nametko]

Hi everyone,

I have a customer who has their business graphic on a power point presentation. I don't have a lot of experience with power point. Can I import a power point graphic into corel draw to use with my laser engraver???? I don't see that file format on the list.

If I can..does anyone know how to get it from power point??

I asked the customer and they were not sure either. Any help would be great!!

THANK YOU

Ron

I had a quick look and I couldn't get it to open a finished powerpoint presentation. That's not to say that if it was able to be edited that you wouldn't be able to export the picture to the desktop and then import it. As for a .pps - it doesn't recognise it.

If that's all they can provide I will print, scan and clean up, and charge them for the time. Often when given the quote they will find a better version to save that extra cost.

Seems involved. I just hit the 'printscreen' button and paste it into a graphics editing program. For best results, turn the screen up to the highest resolution you have before printscreening.

I'm not sure about Corel but I just copied and pasted from PowerPoint directly into Adobe Illustrator.

You should be able to open the presentation in PowerPoint, click the graphic, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into your other graphics tool.

If you don't have PowerPoint I suggest you try Open Office. It is free, its quality and capability reflects that fact, but it should enable you to get your graphic.
