Saving PowerPoint as a Bitmap

Hello all,

Using Office XP and Windows 2000, I've saved PowerPoint
slides as a bitmap with no problem. Since I've upgraded
to Windows XP Pro, the saved bitmaps are very grainy and
blotchy. I've tried this same slide on another Windows
2000 computer, and do not have the problem, so it seems
to me that it is an Windows XP Pro problem.

Basically, the PowerPoint slide contains small graphics
and textboxes with Arial font.

Any ideas?
Bryan

Is the slide background an image? If so, is it an 8-bit image?
If so, some versions of PPT appear to convert/dither the whole slide to 8-bit
color even when exporting as a 24-bit image. This makes everything
grainy-looking and makes the text look like rats have been gnawing on the
edges.

It does a few tricky things to get around this problem.
Let me know if the images you get from it work ... we'll go from there.
 
No, the background is not an image. It is a blank
(standard) background.

I'll try the tool you mentioned to see if this helps.

Thanks
Bryan
