Poor Quality in Exported jpg Files from Slides

I use PowerPoint from Office 2000 to draw illustrations. I like it and I
have learned to do what I need.

However, when I export the slide to a jpg file the quality of the jpg file
is frequently quite poor. They exhibit the fuzziness you get when you save
a graphic from a photo program using too much compression.

Recently I made a complicated graphic with several fine line scales. I was
unable to export a satisfactory graphic in any file format. Indeed, I am
embarrassed to say that I eventually printed the chart and scanned the
print. The result was much superior to any exported graphic.

How do I control the resolution and the amount of compression in PowerPoint
exported graphics.

TIA, Dave in Pennsylvania.

Dave,

For starters, try exporting PNGs instead. JPGs do a good job with photographic
images but aren't the best choice for artwork such as you'd draw in PPT using
lines, text and so on.
