Saving Slides as Web Graphics

PP07S-4.3.6

As you develop a Web site, you can incorporate slides from any of your PowerPoint presentations. You can save any slide in a presentation in the GIF, JPEG, or PNG Web graphic format. Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a form of compression for line drawings or other artwork. Office converts to GIF such images as logos, graphs, line drawings, and specific colored objects. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a high-quality form of compression for continuous tone images, such as photographs. Office converts to JPEG such images as photographs or other images that have many shades of colors. Portable Network Graphics Format is a new bit-mapped graphics format similar to GIF.
