Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / March 2007copy web page into powerpoint slide
I'm trying to copy a web page "screen shot" into a powerpoint slide on my Mac (10.4.9). I read about this on a previous thread (from 2005), but I can't get it to work. Can anyone help? Tx Frederic Can you be a bit more specific about how you are going about it & what is going wrong? Are you using the OS keystrokes (see AppleMenu>System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse - Keyboard Shortcuts) or you using Grab or some other screen capture utility?

I read about this on a previous thread (from 2005), > but I can't get it to work. Can anyone help? Tx Frederic The issue is that I have no idea what to do. I have a particular webpage open in my browser (Firefox 2) that I would like to copy into a slide. First I tried "save page as" to desktop and then import it again into powerpoint that did not work, then I tried to select with grabber and it won't drag it to the desktop. When I save to the desktop i get two files, one with all the content, named "files" and then another with the same number but with the .html suffix. I assumed this should be a fairly straighforward thing...sorry I can't be more specific, I'm just trying out various things as the straighforward copy/paste apparently won't do here. Go to the Web page. Then open the Grab program. From the Capture menu, choose Window. Be sure your window is showing behind the dialog box named "Window Grab." Click Choose Window. Grab will now let you save the picture, so you should save it to your hard drive. Next, open the PowerPoint presentation and go to the Insert menu and choose Picture and From File. Navigate to the picture you just saved and insert it. --David  SignatureDavid M.

Thank you David! it works like a dream. And simple as wel...for those in the know, like me now. Cheers. Frederic A couple of alternatives if you don't need to save the screen shot as a file: 1- Using Grab as David suggested: Once you take the screen shot (rather than saving as a file) go to Grab's Edit menu & copy, then go to your slide & paste, or 2- Bypass Grab altogether: While viewing the page key Shift+Option+Command+3 (or one of the other keystrokes listed in the System Prefs for Keyboard & Mouse), then go to the slide & paste.

Cheers. > > Frederic Does copy and paste still cause problems when transferring from a Mac to a Windows computer. In the past, it has always been better to save to a file and insert from the file. --David SignatureDavid M.

Hi David - I'm afraid that issue is still as real as ever... I would fully agree with using the Insert procedure for most graphics. In the case of a screen capture, though, I'm not sure it makes much of a difference since you're only dealing with 72 ppi in the first place. Composition probably has an influence as well.

Or, if you really want to be slick, you can press Command-Option-4, then press the Space bar, and then click the window that you want to capture. There are also some applications that can help you make PDF versions of webpages that are more than one screen in length. Two such applications are Paparazzi! <http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/> and SnapWeb <http://homepage.mac.com/p.marcel/BTS/SnapWeb/SnapWeb.html>.
