I suppose you could also use the win32 module and the COM object to grab the info from the slide and then use the PIL module to create a jpeg. Sounds like a lot of head banging to me, but it might be an interesting project. For info on accessing PowerPoint with Python, see links below: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread592690.html http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread19132.html http://www.p-nand-q.com/python/ms_office.html Also see Hammond's "Python Programming on Win32" book or Chun's Core Python Programming". Both have some examples of accessing MS Apps. PIL can be found at: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
