A common question from customers is “can you make web graphics from the PowerPoint maps.“ The answer is Yes. PowerPoint has several different Save As options and they work quite well. For a web graphic you need a format called jpg, it is right there in the Save As window.
1. Customize your map however you want, color, add text, set up a custom region. SAVE your project as you always do.
2. To create a JPG graphic for your web site choose SAVE AS from the FILE pull down menu. Click on the popup menu and select JPG format. This option saves each slide of your PowerPoint file as a JPG graphic file. Select the correct file and send it to your web developer.
This guide works with PowerPoint version 2003 and older. All of the principals will work with version 2007 but the locations of the tools will differ. Most of the tools have been moved up to the top of the screen into the Ribbon.
