APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q168415
SYMPTOMS
If you click Cancel while attempting to save a PowerPoint 97 slide as
a Portable Network Graphic (.png) image file, PowerPoint creates a
.png file anyway. However, this file is not a valid Portable Network
Graphic file and you cannot import or open this graphic in any
program.
In contrast, if you click Cancel while attempting to save a PowerPoint
97 slide as a CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) or Joint
Photographic Experts Group (.jpg) file, PowerPoint does not leave a
.gif or .jpg file on your drive.
CAUSE
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, run Windows Explorer and delete the resulting
.png file.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
