in reply to Save Powerpoint Slide as PNG?

You might like to look at Convert PowerPoint Presentation to Word Document with Win32::OLE. Once in Word, you probably can export the page as an image.

As a fast (or last :-) ) solution, you could use ImageMagick's import, or some other win32 screenshot program to grab a fast screenshot. The way import works, is you execute import, then a little crosshair appears as the mouse pointer, which you click in the window you wish to save....all very easy if you just want a few images.

      Oops, his node link is broken, and I didn't notice the node id being the same. I still think that is his best bet, even the current last node on that page Re^3: Convert PowerPoint Presentation to Word Document with Win32::OLE seems to discuss exporting.

      I don't use MSWindows, but most word processors can export photos of whole pages.

      If you google for "export word to png" you will find instructions. (The MS help website wouldn't let me see the page because I didn't have activeX or some similar MS b*llshit.) Linux rules! :-)
