Picture Manager and Screen Shots

[yellowhouse1976]

Hi

I am running Office 2003 on XP and I do a lot of design work in Powerpoint.
I find that the best way to keep my designs as intended is to do a screen
shot of them and then drop the image into whatever Word document I am working
on. I then crop the screen shot leaving just the image. This works well but
due to the quality of the printers I have to use the image can become a
little fuzzy round the edges.

I was thinking that if there was a way to save the screen shot as a jpg or
similar then this might alleviate the problem. I have tried to copy the
screen shot into Picture Manager and then crop and save but it doesnt seem to
work. Does anyone know if this can be done either in Picture Manager or
another free MS programme?

Failing that any suggestions on how best to get complicated designs done in
Powerpoint into other formats such as Word. I have tried the 'Grouping'
option but it is weak and does stay together as intended. I have also tried
the option for sending slides images to Word but it is messy and the image
quality is actually better by doing a screen shot.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks
