MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2004Save as Picture Option
PPT XP & 2003 has the option of saving every shape as an image. Supposing I have a textbox (say having 5 lines) with an image background. I want to save only the background as an image and not the text in the textbox. How do i do this. One option is to delete all the text and then save the image but by doing this the size(height) of the textbox decreases and the imsge distorts. Is there any way out where I can save only the background without altering the size of the image Regards and thanks Abhishek Abhishek, With the textbox selected, go to Format - textbox - tab textbox, uncheck the second checkbox which allows Powerpoint to adjust the size of the box in relation to the text typed. Now you can delete the text without PPT resizing the box.

If u could tell me the option for table as well it will be great Thanks once again Abhishek Hello, A table you say, as far as I know when you put a picture in the background of a table it does so in all of the cells. If you delete the text (ctrl+A; delete key), the size of the table will not change and you will be left with only the table and it's background. Is it that what you are looking for?

Suppose the text was of 4 lines the image height is respective to 4 lines, but when we delete the text of the cell the image height or the row height becomes one similar to that of textbox. I want that the table size or the row size should also not change. Abhishek It is my experience that the height of the row stays the same even when you delete the text in the only cell. You can of course decrease or increase the height of the row by dragging the handles. If you type more text than is possible, the height automatically increases as you mentioned, but when you delete the text it will revert to its original height. As far as I know you have little control over the height of a row in a table in Powerpoint, not as much control as you have over it in Word. Do you really need a table? You could just as easily draw a rectangle, add a background, and even type text allthough you will have to adjust the positioning of the text which is by default centered horizontally and vertically. When you delete your text in the rectangle the size will not change. Sorry if this doesn't help you, maybe someone else will have better ideas.

But i do not want it to revert back to its original height. The question is not whether i need the table or not, basically i need to extract the images of the same size as present in the PPT of the client. Anyways thanks a lot. If u have any other suggestions pls do let me know Abhishek Abhishek, To force the table shape to retain the same dimensions even when you delete the text you have to first size the row height to value higher than the (0.125 should be enough) higher than it's current size and then restore it back to the original size. Now delete the text and the empty table will remain with the exact dimensions.
