Exporting PowerPoint Slides with Specific Heights and Widths
- by Damon Armstrong
I found myself in need of exporting PowerPoint slides from a presentation and was fairly excited when I found that you could save them off in standard image formats. The problem is that Microsoft conveniently exports all images with a resolution of 960 x 720 pixels, which is not the resolution I wanted. You can, however, specify the resolution if you are willing to put a macro into your project: Sub ExportSlides() For i = 1 To ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Count Dim fileName As String If (i < 10) Then fileName = "C:\PowerPoint Export\Slide" & i & ".png" Else fileName = "C:\PowerPoint Export\Slide0" & i & ".png" End If ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(i).Export fileName, "PNG", 1280, 720 Next End Sub When you call the Export method you can specify the file type as well as the dimensions to use when creating the image. If the macro approach is not your thing, then you can also modify the default settings through the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827745
