I am trying to make a presentation for a conference, and am facing a problem that I cannot solve. I have a powerpoint presentation initially created with Powerpoint 2010 for Windows. I am facing picture compression issues as described. In addition to this saving problem, that pictures become worse quality every time I save the file, I am experiencing problems while trying to insert files. All pictures are inserted blurry. This applies for emf, png and, pdf.

In PowerPoint for Mac 2011 Essential Training, author David Rivers demonstrates how to create effective slideshows and dynamic presentations using the tools in Microsoft PowerPoint 2011. The course provides in-depth instructions for changing the look of presentations: using built-in and custom themes, formatting text, inserting tables. About This Mac. System Report. Software > Applications. In the last column, you can see whether it’s a 64-bit application or not. There are some of the 32-bit applications that we are aware of: Adobe Illustrator CS5. Abobe InDesign CS5. Microsoft Excel 2011. Microsoft PowerPoint 2011. Microsoft Outlook 2011. Microsoft Word 2011. QuickTime Pro.

The solution does not work as pictures are still inserted in lower quality I see that it is possible to disable the feature in under Windows, but I cannot find these advanced settings from Powerpoint for Mac 2011. How can I import/insert pictures to Powerpoint in their original quality? How can I control the picture compression? I am working on Powerpoint version 14.3.2 and OS X 10.8.3. I think I have a better answer, but I can't post it since the question is protected. If the pictures looks good in the original presentation and does not appear to lose quality, it may not actually be compressed, just zoomed. When PowerPoint copies it, it copies at the zoomed quality, rather than the original.

Try going back to the original PowerPoint file. Select the picture you want to copy. In the 'Picture Tools/Format' tab, press 'reset picture' (it may make the picture really large). Then copy the picture and paste into the final document (may then need to resize it there).

If you do not like the quality it is the end of the road, no advanced settings will help here. You could report the picture file size here, like is it in 500k- 1Meg, or more or less than 100k. In second case your only option is to keep the picture size as small as possible to retain the quality (resolution). EDIT: If the pictures look good in original presentation then lets try this. Do not copy paste.

Adobe reader for mac last version. Jive will not function with this version of Internet Explorer.

Use presentation mode (full screen) and make a screenshot (press cmd+shift+4). You will get a cursor allowing you to select the picture., and once you have done that it will save it. Now take look at that result first, and if happy then import it in to power point. In Word and PowerPoint for Mac 2011, you can change the compression behaviour for a placed bitmap image via the Format Picture ribbon. Double-click the image to bring that ribbon to the front, then click the Compress button and choose the option Keep Current Resolution.

Or, choose File > Reduce Size to bring up the dialog box. This needs to be done before the presentation is saved with the newly placed image.

It's different for vector graphics from PDF files, which PowerPoint will simply convert into bitmap graphics and compress as soon as the presentation is saved with the newly placed PDF file. This can be avoided in MS Office by using vector graphics in the.EPS file format or in Microsoft's own.EMF format, which can be exported from most vector graphics editors, e.g., Inkscape, OpenOffice Draw, Adobe Illustrator, etc. (Beware: PDFs exported from bitmap editors like GIMP, Photoshop, or Pixelmator are not vector graphics images.).

Excel Charts are prime examples of the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and PowerPoint presentations provide a great vehicle for passing a chart’s message on to an audience. So the combination of an Excel chart on a PowerPoint slide is a powerful way to get a point across.

But what if the chart data change? How do we update the slide? The first part of the updating answer lies in how the chart was added to the slide. Assuming the chart was created in Excel and then copied in preparation for adding it to the slide, there are basically three different ways to paste the chart – embedding the chart, linking the chart, and pasting the chart as a picture. Each of those impacts your ability to update the chart. These choices are available by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the paste icon at the lower right corner of the pasted chart: Paste Options If you paste the chart as a picture, you are establishing no connection between the underlying data and the pasted chart. This is a good choice if the data is historical and you see little need to update in the future.
