MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / July 2007reformating JPEG images for PowerPoint.
How can I convert/reformat JPEG images for a PowerPoint Slide show? I am not a computer genius! .JPG images do not need any conversion for use in PowerPoint.

Having started to try to do it I have become obstinate! If you open PowerPoint and start a new presentation, then you go to Insert > Picture > Picture from File, you can then browse to the location of your JPGs and select one. It will be inserted on the slide. Is this not working for you? Please tell us more about the problem that you are encountering.

It does not seem possible to link to a jpg file, so the ppt needs to be manually updated, whereas a bmp file can be linked to and updates the ppt automatically.

Use Insert, Picture, From File. Choose your picture. Instead of clicking Insert, click the little arrowhead just to the right of Insert and pick "Link to File" from the popup menu. > > If you open PowerPoint and start a new presentation, then you go to Insert > > > Picture > Picture from File, you can then browse to the location of your JPGs [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > >>!.

When doing this, we have to use a process that only converts JPEG/JPG file formats and NOT .ppt formats, therefore when we put the document back together, is there a way to convert the JPEG/JPG file into a slide that can be text edited? > > I was using insert object. > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > PPTools: www.pptools.com > ================================================ > Reason for reformatting JPEG/JPG images into a powerpoint could simply be to > move one powerpoint presentation from a secret network onto a Non-secret > network.

Beef + Veggies + Potatos --> Stew That's easy. Stew --> Beef + Veggies + Potatos Not easy. And with jpgs, you have a picture of stew, not even the real thing. A JPG is just a collection of colored dots arranged to look like text or whatever else is in the picture. There's no text there. That said, OCR (optical character recognition) software's pretty good at some types of picture to text conversion. You could then paste the OCR'd text into PPT slides. Still messy, manual ... lots of work. If you're converting PPTs to JPGS and need to go back, honestly, I'd reconsider the workflow, because this is a non-starter. > > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > PPTools: www.pptools.com > > ================================================ ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ |
