Re: Yes, I do this a lot. Export as EMF or WMF. Import into PowerPoint and ungroup.

Hi, i have a question:

I tried to import .emf into Powerpoint to use it like SHAPES, (not images) in Powerpoint 2011 on MAC. It is not working, because there is no option to ungroup the importet vector data. (On PC and 2007 its working fine)
Is there a workaround? How do I get vector data to work like Shapes in PPT 2011 on Mac OSX?

Does anyone know of a way to import a custom shape created in an external
program (ie. Illustrator) into powerpoint and retain the vector data
information so that it can be filled and effected as any other "shape"

I've looked all over the place and tried a number of options to do this.
Thanks!

Yes, I do this a lot. Export in WMF or EMF format. Import into PowerPoint and
ungroup. You'll get a question about whether you want to convert it to
PowerPoint objects. Say Yes. You'll have to ungroup it a second time. They
you can edit in PowerPoint. I've done this to import charts created in
Illustrator and was then able to add a wipe animation to the bars of the
chart.
