[mrtg] Re: PNG and Powerpoint

[Shipley, Rob]

Did you resolve this issue? 
If not, doing cut/paste to a file you are stepping out of the bounds of the
png file and converting it to another bitmap format(device independent?).
The coversion may not have good resolution. If you paste in another
application(PainT) is the graph OK? If this is what is happening, try
copying the original png file to disk, then insert the file in Power Point
or use another application for conversion. The presentation may also look OK
when you actually run the slide show.

I'm using PPT2000 and MRTG 2.9.2.

Here's the approach I've been trying:

1. View the HTML page in IE5.5 SP1.
2. Right-click the desired graph.
3. Click Copy.
4. Switch to Powerpoint.
5. Paste.

Could screen resolution be a factor?  I normally use a screen size of
1152x864.

ITMT, I will look in TechNet for help.

Thanks,
Colin

This
