tile printing: PPT to Corel

I have a slide (poster) of size A0 in powerpoint. Since Powerpoint and
also my printer doesn't have a tile printing option, I searched the
newsgroup and came to understand that Coreldraw is one of the tools
that can do tile printing. I downloaded the CorelDraw X3 ver 13 free
trial
from the net. Now I am having problem in transporting my PPT slide to
Corel: How do I do this? I tried cut and paste, but that doesn't work
since the background etc of PPT slide is not copied to destination.
When I try to 'open' PPT file with Corel Or if I try to import PPT file
in Corel, the system sort-of hangs, taking a long time to load and
ultimately giving a small, blank window with title "Font Substitution
for Missing Fonts", and then nothing happens.

Please let me know how to transport PPT slide in Corel. I would like to
do (preferably) minimum changes to the PPT slide, and am a first-time
user of Corel.

Thanks
 
You will have to save your presentation as an image file I would suggest
either WMF, or EMF which you can then open in Corel Craw

Second that.

But I'd also try this:

Install a PostScript color printer driver, print the presentation to it but
first put a check next to "To File" in the print dialog box.

Give the file a name, PPT will save it as a PRN file.

In Draw, choose File, Import
Specify the Interpreted PostScript filter and import the file you just saved.
 
Do you know how many years it has been since I used that method? Thanks
Steve I'd completely forgotten about that. Must be getting old :-o))

I can't tell you how many times that little trick has let me convert stuff
(well!) that nothing else would work with. And the PS importer gets better
with every version.
