APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Picture It! 2.0 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q182928
SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to save your PowerPoint presentation in any of the
following formats listed in the Save As dialog box
Windows Bitmap (*.bmp, *.dib)
Targa (*.tga)
Tagged Image File Format (*.tif)
PC Paintbrush (*.pcx)
PowerPoint will fail to export the slides and you will receive the
following error message:
PowerPoint was unable to export all slides.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because PowerPoint does not support these formats. The
most common reason for this problem is that you installed Microsoft Picture
It! 2.0 on the computer after you installed PowerPoint 97. When you
install Microsoft Picture It!, all file formats that are available to Picture It! will also be available to PowerPoint (listed in the Save As Type list in the PowerPoint Save As dialog box).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
