I'm using "Send To Word" to get my slides and speaker notes to a Word
document for further editing and reformatting.  The slides are sent as
"slide objects"; this results in an enormous Word file size.  In
m.p.powerpoint I asked if there is a way to get "Send To Word" - or some
similar function - to send jpgs or some other image style.

My other option is to convert the slide objects, programmatically, to jpgs.
I tried the following:

Selection.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.ConvertTo ClassType:= "Paint.Picture",
DisplayAsIcon:=False

but I get "Run-time error 5360: The server application, source file, or item
cannot be found..."

Is there a way in vba (or other way) to convert the slide objects to
pictures?

BTW, my workaround is to use SnagIt to capture the image of the slide object
in the clipboard, delete the slide object, and paste the image in its place.
Tedious for long documents, however!

Thanks,
Bob
