Powerpoint Presentations

[Deskpilot]

Guys, I got some excellent behind the scenes photos of a Shuttle preparation but they're in a slide show presentation. Is there any way I can upload them? I've tried adding the to my Picasa web site but that doesn't appear to work.

Open it up in powerpoint and on each image in the browser just save it. It should work, haven't tried it though...

Use the icon at the bottom to go to slide sorter view (small slides)

 

Click Edit

 

Click Copy

 

Open a new Word document

 

Ctrl+V will paste the slide

 

Then cut and paste or save the file as .doc and attach.

Cheers Shags, thought of that but seemed a long way round.

 

Turbo...use the icon at the bottom of what?

In Powerpoint at the bottom left these three icons appear.

 

Left is normal view, which you are probably looking at

 

Centre is slide view which shows all the slides at reduced size

 

Right is Slide Show view which is the large picture

 

Click the centre one

Nice try TP but what I got is a slide show and the only thing at the bottom are two icons that open a small dialogue box relating to controlling the show. I can't copy and save individual photos (there's 48 anyway) so what now?

Can I email the whole shebang to someone who knows what to do? It's a 2.932KB file.

Can the Power point file be loaded onto downloads. Is that a useful option? ?

 

Only guessing

 

 

[Deskpilot]

Nope, too big.

Here are the pictures - all 47 of them :big_grin:

 

When you have a power point slide show (a file that has a .pps extension) you need to open power point first and then use File -> Open from the menu. Right click the picture on the slide and select "Save As Picture". This saves the picture to your hard disk.

 

Another thing you can then do with the pictures, in fact any group of pictures, is make a screen saver slide show of them for your pc. To do this right click your desktop and click properties. Go to where you select a screen saver and in the list there should be "Photos" - select that and then click the "Settings" button. There you can select a folder that contains all the images you want to have as your screen saver.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks Ian. Unfortunately The photos alone don't convey the text that goes with them in the presentation. The payload on this particular flight was an extension to the Space Station. Not shown, is the loading of the payload into the empty shuttle assembly on the launch pad. A friend of mine just came back from watching the last launch. He was very impressed, even at three miles distance. This is a mandatory clearance in case the thing blows up on the pad, God forbid.

I have been converting PowerPoint presentations to .swf formats using a program called " iSpring free " PowerPoint to Flash and E-Learning Software | iSpring Solutions for PowerPoint to Flash Conversion. I then convert the.swf file to avi format using " iWisoft Flash SWF to Video Converter" Flash SWF to Video Converter, Best SWF Converter to convert SWF to AVI, SWF to FLV, SWF to WMV, SWF to MOV, SWF to MP3.

 

the free version of this program leaves a watermark but I find this not too intrusive.

 

All a bit tedious but the results are good.
