AskWoody LoungerI’ve had things like this happen to me. It seems it has something to do with the quick save option from Word. My recommendation is that after a long while of editing, save, close and open the document. Of course, this is a solution like rebooting windows when things go wrong, but it works… Hope it helps…

AskWoody LoungerDiego, If I were you, I would definitively go for XP Pro. Home versions are always limited for power users like you, and the way I see it Corp. versions are always somewhat “tidier”…. Plus, I can loan you some CDs that would be usefull for XP.
As for the PD, I have it running on a P3 600 with 256 and it works just great! I would surely recommend upgrading to 256. BTW, Office XP works great too, but always keep a copy of the installation disk, or you will lose tons of functions not installed the first time (language spelling, dictation, etc… things I KNOW you will like to try…).
Hope it helped!! Have a good one, friend! -

AskWoody LoungerDiegol, I have had this problem in the past. The best solution I can recommend is to try and zoom in to the image in PPT that you want to export to a jpeg, and instead of exporting it, press the Print Screen button. After this, go to MS PhotoEditor, Edit, Paste as new image, or do the same in some other image edditing program. Hope this helped!
