MORE INFORMATION

Method 1: Use a Copy and Paste Operation

From Slide Sorter view in Harvard Graphics, copy a slide, and then paste it onto a blank slide in PowerPoint.

Method 2: Insert the Slides as OLE Objects

1. In PowerPoint, click Object on the Insert menu.

2. In the Object Type list, click Harvard Graphics Slide(s).

3. Click the Existing Slide(s) button.

4. In the Open For Embedded dialog box, switch to the folder 

   containing the Harvard Graphics file and select a .prs
   file.
5. Switch to the desired slide and click Update <filename> 
   on the File menu. If you don't do this, you receive an
   image of the first slide in the .prs file when you return
   to PowerPoint.
6. On the File menu, click "Close and Return to PowerPoint."

7. Resize the Harvard Graphics object to fill the PowerPoint 

   slide.
Both of these methods bring in only one Harvard Graphics slide at a time.
