Thanks, Bob.

If the graphic is happy as an image, I'd go for PNG.
If it needs to be editable as a vector, I'd try PICT, EMF and WMF then insert each
onto a slide in PPT and ungroup them to see which works best.

Hi Steve;

Illy's [CS3] Save As options are fairly limited if that's all you look at;

Adobe Illustrator Document (AI)
Illy EPS
Illy Template
Adobe PDF
SVG Compressed (svgz)
SVG

However, it also has an Export command in the File menu which often goes
overlooked. *That's* where you find all the formats that many seem to
believe they don't have;

BMP Targa PNG AutoCad Drawing AutoCad Interchange
EMF SWF JPEG PICT Photoshop (PSD) TIFF Text (TXT) WMF

There's also a MS Office specific command which defaults to PNG.

Hi,
Thanks for the input, but I'm not really familiar with Illustrator and how
eps works at all - for me that's the one file format I'm absolutely not
familiar with. Guess it works pretty straight foreward.

Quite the opposite. Adobe's managed to confuse the heck out of the spec by
confusing it with Illustrator AI format (similar but different) and PDF
(similar
to both in some ways but different again).

If you have Illustrator, try creating a simple graphic and doing a Save As.
Let us know the options it offers.



Cheers

Hmmm. That prompts a thought.

ISTR that most recent versions of Illustrator as something they call EPS but
which includes all manner of other stuff that could well confuse PPT.

I don't have Illustrator but I'm pretty sure that you can save as a type of
EPS
that's more like "pure" EPS. Just a preview and PS graphics information.
It
might be a matter of choosing EPS for an earlier Illo version or the like.

That's be well worth a try.
