Title: Can I SAVE a slide from PowerPoint, if I use an OpenDocument Presentaion?
Post by: JLO on April 21, 2013, 09:38:44 PM

I don't have PowerPoint anymore, but do have Open Document software.  A pal sent me a PP disk and I want to save some pics, but don't see how to do it.  I right click and there's not an option.   :???:

Thanks for any help.

Edit Subject line to Save, not Print.  :cheersmate:

There is always the fallback method of doing a "Print Screen" and then cropping it.

Oops! I meant I wanted to save the pics, not print.   :thatsright:

You would have to open the PPT in edit mode.  Do you have Open Office?  I think OO comes with a PowerPoint clone.

He meant copying what's on the screen and trimming/cropping to save the picture you want.

Press the Print Screen button, open Paint or some other picture editor, and Paste.
