Jagged Text

[Editing time]

I have the need to save my PPT slides out to pictures - still graphics. I
noticed that when I save to BMP, or TIFF the text becomes very rough. WMF and
EMF are not options - too big. Is there a way to work around this or a way to
bump up the quality settings for any of the save as picture settings to over
come this issue?

The best option using PPTs native export to image is to save to a .png
format.

But to get better control, options, and quality look into these add-ins:

You can try a couple of things to improve text anti-aliasing for your
final still images.

First, if you are using Windows XP right-click on your desktop, select
Properties, click Appearance, then the Effects button, and check the
box for "Use the following method to smooth screen fonts" and select
Clear Type under this option.

When you view a slide in Slide Show mode, your fonts will be
anti-aliased. You can try a screen capture at this point to grab a
still image of your slide. Individually, you can capture slides to the
clipboard with your PrntScrn key and paste them into an image editing
program for saving. Or may wish to use another capture program such
as SnagIt, Corel Capture, or any other program you may have that
allows you to capture to a file.

The best approach I've found for producing still images from
PowerPoint is to use Adobe Acrobat - the full version. For this
method, you would Print your files to the Adobe PDF Writer. (Select
the PDF Writer as your printer). The PDF Writer allows you to print
all slides, and gives you much larger final images.
