Screenshots on PPT Slide

November 18, 2009 13:59 by Makarand

Problem: I capture a screen from the PDF that consist of a program, using the Snapshot Tool option of the Acrobat Reader. The background of the screen is white and the foreground is black (the program text). Now, I want to copy the captured screen on a PowerPoint slide with a blue background. The problem is that the captured screen background (white) surpasses the blue background.

Is there any way so that I retain my PowerPoint background with only the foreground of the captured screen (the program text)?

Possible Solution: It is not a problem of PowerPoint. The image that you have captured has "white" color in the background. There is no "empty" or "hollow" through which you will see the background color of the slide.

There are two alternatives, use Paint or similar tool to change the background  white color to blue (if you have FullShot this is very easy). Or use a more powerful  tool like Photoshop that can create a "hollow" background for your image so that  you can see something though it.

[[BTW, I am just wondering how good will black text look on blue background.]]

Conversion from MS PowerPoint slides to MS Word Documents

November 18, 2009 13:56 by Makarand

Task: I have a presentation of 50 slides and I want to convert it to a word document. Is there anyway to convert PPT to DOC... other than cut and paste.

Possibility: If you want to use text in the slides, Sujatha's suggestion will do the job. But if you want to export complete slide objects, try this File > Send To > Microsoft Word.

Then select the options you want. This will put the slides in separate pages on in table  columns (with or without blank lines next to slide objects). But since entire slides are exported  and saves in word document, the file size would be in MB (quite big). You can also link the slides to  original presentation, so if your presentation is modified, you can update the links in Word  document to refresh changes automatically.
