Oh yeah, we've all been there... Question:"Can I get this graphic done in PowerPoint?" Who has the best method of preserving image quality when saving a file to insert into PPT? PNG, GIF, JPEG...
I always get some fuzziness no matter what file type I save. Especially with illustrator.

It's a crap piece of software but the whole corporate world uses it. There's no escape!

Many times I go 800x600 and make the person doing the presentation change their screen resolution when hooking to the projector. We do Flash presentations, not PPT though, but I have noticed that on slower machines you get a smoother presentation. Ours are always done in pretty controlled environments, though. So I have that luxury.
I bring all logos and type in as eps or ai and I just use jpgs for the rest.

We've done 150dpi jpegs or RGB TIFFS and they've both worked fine. Less compression in the TIFF so they tend to be a little sharper.
Does that even make sense? Not sure, but definitely supplied these formats and requests to abandon ppt to our clients.

yeah, don't use 72 dpi, use at least 100. PPT is weird. You have to work with it for a while to 'get it'. Type is hideous no matter what you do. I worked on templates for a huge global company last year. They look really nice though, was worth the effort. You can make ppt look good. It's just a huge pain
