I've just created an application that allows you to upload your powerpoint
presentation to the web and deliver it one slide at a time. It works off
the MHT format. But JPG files seems to always be jaggy. Does anyoen know
how to create a slide that gets anti-aliased when it gets saved as JPG? It
would make my online presentations much faster and prettier :)

Hi,

This one is about mushy and blurry graphics which may help understand how
PowerPoint handles images:

Maybe JPG is undergoing too much compression to be clear when it is posted
to the web. It would be useful to try png and compare them to your jpg's.
Png is the native format for PowerPoint, and supposedly the web as well.

THanks, but I wasn't speaking of blurry jpgs. I was talking about
non-anti-aliased text when doing a save as jpg. It seems as though
sometimes the text gets smoothed, sometimes not...

Is there a way to ensure smooth, anti-aliased text when exporting as jpg
or png?

PowerPoint doesn't anti-alias when it exports images.

One workaround might be to have it display each slide in slide show mode and
do screenshots programmatically.

Another would be to export higher rez images as PNG rather than JPG, then
use an external utility to downsample them (with antialiaising) and convert
to JPG. Keep in mind that JPG at high compression rates will run your text
through the Shred-O-Matic.

The Slide.Export method allows you to export slides at your chosen
resolution.
