Possible to copy text (with effects) with transparency into PhotoS

[Kyle]

Powerpoint makes it very easy to create beautiful text and buttons for that
matter, unfortunately, I can't seem to find out how to copy text from
Powepoint without the white background coming along with the image.

Anyone know of a way to do it, short of erasing the background in Photoshop?

Kyle,

Method one is how to do it in powerpoint

Method two is by using third party software

I'm looking to copy FROM Powerpoint, not to paste INTO.

As in copying text + effects from Powerpoint to "Application X."


I sincerely appreciate the effort though.

Kyle,

In that case your need to get the image out of powerpoint as a 'vector'
graphic.

If it was me I'd try saving/printing as a PDF... then getting your
Application X (illustrator/corel/et al) to import the PDF.

Right-click, choose Save As Picture, select PNG so the transparency is
maintained.

Thanks to the both of you! I would have never thought of either of these
solutions, and they both work fantastically.

Cheers.
