Why doesn't my PowerPoint file look the same as it did when I saved it and closed it down?
PowerPoint files created on Macs often do not function properly when opened on a Windows machine, if you created it on a mac, try opening it again on a Mac, it should return to its origional state.
How do I turn a PowerPoint slide into a PDF so that it can be printed big at printing and mailing?
On a mac (OS X): In PowerPoint go to print, and then click on the "Save as PDF" button on the bottom of the menu. Very simple. Now have them insert a blank cd, drag the PDF to the CD and eject it to burn it.
On a PC (with a scanner build): For the PC version of this it is ideal that they use one of the three scanner PCs. In PowerPoint there is a little acrobat button in the upper left corner of the screen. Click on it and it will export the current slide as a PDF. Save it, insert a blank CD, drag file to cd, and then click "write files to CD" in upper left hand menu.
Also, Printing and mailing services can print ppt posters directly from PC.
How do I turn one of my PowerPoint slides into a bitmap image?
Click on the slide you want to save as an image. Select View > Notes Page. Right-click the image of the slide and select Copy. Open a graphics editor such as Paint or AdobePhotoshop and paste the image. Save that file as a bitmap.
