In VBA, the Slide object has an export command that lets you
export a snapshot of a given slide.

I can't seem to find something equivalent in the Applescript
object model. Am I missing something? Is there a more clever way to
accomplish this in Applescript?

Hi Eric,

I dropped the PowerPoint application icon onto the AppleScript editor icon
to see what's in the PowerPoint dictionary.

When I checked the Save options I see that saving as a picture is not
included.

Nothing struck me as being able to accomplish the task you suggest, however,
usually the word AppleScript triggers Paul Berkowitz to magically appear and
offer suggestions to the newsgroup.
