Jaggy text with save as (graphic) on Windows

[John Morford]

When doing a "Save as" to a graphic format (jpg, bmp, png
etc...) in PowerPoint 2002 on Windows 2000, the text in
the resulting file does not anti-alias. I don't have this
problem on the Mac but unfortunately need to work in
Windows. I can solve this by doing lots of screen grabs
and bringing into Photoshop but I'd really like to avoid
this step.

Thanks if you can help.

Try using the WMF file format. Text is crisp and
scaleable, although file size increased dramatically...

John,

Try increasing the resolution of your saved files (I'd use PNGs or BMPs),
then batch downsample them in PShop or some other app.
