Re: Adjusting jpeg quality options in Paste Special for PP 2007

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you, Steve. I am pasting tens of images, so that'd be a bit laborious
(or maybe I'm plain lazy, but that's the idea, right? An easy day, or
whatever Office 07 promises...).

I'll try PNG. I've tried EFM, and files are just too big. Looking for the
Goldilocks point, you know. If we were able to tweak JPEG quality that would
just be so perfect, you pick your own tradeoff.

Unless you're specifically trying to set up an OLE Embedded or Linked object, it
does. Consider pasting the images into an image editing program. There you can set
the compression as needed and save to JPG files, which you can then insert.

Or if image clarity is more important than file size, use PNGs instead.

Also, have a look here ... I think it may get to the root of the problem:

PowerPoint 2007 makes pictures blurry, loses GIF animation

I have read some of your very helpful postings; I just hope you are wrong
this one time :) Let's see if someone else may have found a way of doing
it...

Thanks,

I am copying images from different sources and pasting them into a PowerPoint
2007 presentation as JPEG. They look a bit fuzzy, so I would like to paste
them as a higher quality JPEG (less compression). Where can I adjust this
setting?
