Importing PowerPoint slide to a Word document

[CClarke]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel When I import (copy and paste) a powerpoint slide to a Word document, the contents of the slide are fuzzy. Readable, if large enough, but fuzzy. Is there someway to correct this?

Try Edit>Paste Special and choose "PowerPoint Slide".

Cheers

Well, I hope this works for you, because right after I sent that, we tested
it in the Word for Mac development office at Microsoft Redmond.

That's because Bob (CyberTaz) said that when he tried it, he got a nasty
error message.

So then I tried it, and I got a nasty error message too! I immediately
blamed Bob...

Then one of the programmers who wrote the code tried it, and HE got the same
error message.

So we have raised a bug on the most recently-updated version of Word and OS
X...

So if you get an error message, it's not you, something got broken.

Sorry about that.

Cheers

Thank you!

Not sure if that's the best way to do it in the future. Seems like I should be able to copy it directly from PPT to Word. I'll watch for the fix.

Thanks for the follow up.
