Window meta files

Paste Special
You can specify formatting when you paste slides, pictures, objects, and
text from other presentations, programs, or the Web into your presentation.
For example, like pictures and other objects, text in a presentation has
its own formatting
such as typeface, color, and font size. When you copy
text that has different formatting into your presentation, PowerPoint
automatically reformats that text to match the text in your presentation.
However, you can use Paste Special to maintain the original formatting.
NOTE If you want to display Microsoft Office Excel data, charts,
or graphs in your PowerPoint slides, see the articles, Copy Excel data
or charts to PowerPoint and Use charts and graphs in your presentation.
Cut or copy the slide, picture, text, or object that you want to paste.
On the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, click the arrow under Paste,
click Paste Special, and then do one of the following:
To specify the format that you want to paste the slide, text, or object as,
click Paste, and then use the table below to select a format from the Use this f
ormat list.
To add a hyperlink to a separate document or presentation, click Paste Link.
NOTE: The Paste Link option is unavailable if you cut or copied content
from a document that does not support the Paste Link option, or
if the document that you are attempting to link to has not been saved.
USE THIS FORMAT
WHEN:Formatted Text
You want the text to retain the formatting of the text from the other presentati
on,
program, or Web page. NOTE When you copy text from another presentation,
the Web, or a different program (that has different formatting) into to your pre
sentation,
by default, that text is automatically reformatted to match the text in your pr
esentation.
Unformatted Text
You want the text to take on the formatting of the presentation
you are pasting to.
Microsoft Office Drawing Object
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear
as a Microsoft Office drawing object in your presentation.
Picture (GIF)
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear
as a Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) picture.
The GIF file format is limited to 256 colors,
and is therefore most effective for scanned images,
such as illustrations, and less effective for color photographs.
GIF is also a good file format for line drawings, black and white images,
small text that is only a few pixels high, and animation.
Picture (JPEG)
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear
as a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) picture.
The JPEG file format supports 16 million colors and
is best suited for photographs and complex graphics.

Picture (PNG)
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear as
a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) picture in your presentation.
The PNG file format is similar to GIF but it provides better color support.
It compresses solid areas of color while preserving sharp detail,
such as the detail in line art, logos, or illustrations with text.
You can save, restore, and resave a PNG image without degrading its quality.
Unlike GIF files, PNG does not support animation, and some older Web browsers
and applications do not support PNG.
Picture (Windows Metafile)
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear as a Windows Metafile Format (W
MF) picture.
You can save a picture as a 16-bit graphic (for use with Windows 3.x and later).
Picture (Enhanced Metafile)
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear as an Enhanced Metafile (EMF) f
ormat.
You can save a picture as a 32-bit graphic, which supports more sophisticated gr
aphics functions.
Device Independent Bitmap
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear as a Device Independent Bitmap
(DIB),
such as a slide acting as a graphic for use on Web pages.
A DIB is a representation (that consists of rows and columns of dots)
of a graphics image in computer memory. The value of each dot (filled in or not)
is stored in one or more bits of data.
Bitmap
You want the contents of the Clipboard to appear as a bitmap.
The Microsoft Windows BMP format can display millions of colors.
Because it is supported by several programs, it is an extremely
practical file format to use when you are providing an image
to someone who may not have the program in which you created the image.
To paste the content as an Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
PowerPoint application icon (rather than pasting the actual content),
select the Display as icon check box.
You can click the icon to open the application, and then view the content.
NOTE: The Display as icon check box is only available if you use Paste Link
or if you paste the content as an OLE object. You can then can change
the icon for the content that you pasted.
-----------------------------------------------You can save individual PowerPoint slides for use in other applications
by saving each slide
you want to be available as a Winfows MetaFile (WMF).
First, display the Slide Sorter view and click on
the slide you want to save. Then choose File, Save As.
Change the file type to Windows Metafile and name the
slide. If asked whether you want to export just the current slide or all the sli
des,
choose current side.
