Office 2003: I've created an image in a drawing canvas in Microsoft Word that I want to save as an image file (JPEG, BMP, whatever) and then set as the background image in a series of PowerPoint slides. I thought I remembered an "Export ..." option that appeared when right-clicking the border of the drawing canvas, with a subsequent dialogue to save the drawing as a JPEG. But it isn't there. Ideas?

Ideas? There's never been an Export command that I can remember.

Here's another option that may work depending on suitability of the image: Copy the image in Word In PowerPoint go to the Design Tab > Background Styles - Fill Select "Picture or Texture Fill"> Clipboard. You may have to adjust some of the settings.
