PowerPoint Photos I am trying to save my PowerPoint presentation photos so I can give them to a couple. I need to do this in a way they can't print the photos and yet be good viewing. I'd appreciated any help you can provide.

Resize your pictures to 72 ppi and a convenient size. Save in JPEG, although PowerPoint will accept TIF. Then, in PowerPoint, use the Rectangle Drawing Tool and cover the slide. Add a backgrouns color - black is always good. Then insert the resized JPEG and adjust the dimensions with the mouse - leaving a small border. Because of the low resolution, even if they tried to make a print, it'll be awful. Try it out, and you'll be convinced.

Thanks John I'll try that. I am new at Power Point but want to give the options to my customers to view without them printing. So that is the only way, we can't stop them from printing at all Diane

Diane: Once you have done this, you can also save it as a Powerpoint show. To do this, simply choose At the bottom, you will see a selector for "Save as type:" Choose "PowerPoint Show *.pps" PowerPoint shows cannot be edited or printed (by most people who aren't trying to hack). I have done this many times to share photo shows, although lately I have taken to burning DVDs with a slideshow and musical background. Good luck! Chris

Thanks Chris, I knew there had to be a way to prevent them from being printed. Can they print from the DVD slideshow with the music. Or do you handle it in the same way you spoke of above. Diane Thomas

There's also the convert to web/screen quality option, that also make the pictures awful when printed, unless they print them real small.. LOL Look for the icon to compress when you select a picture, it should pop up a picture toolbar.
