Summary:

When exporting graphics from DrawPerfect that you intend to import into Windows PowerPoint, it is best to use the CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format.

When you export your file, also make sure that the graphic has a filename extension of .CGM. If the file has a different extension, PowerPoint will not recognize it as being a CGM file.

More Information:

DrawPerfect has four different file export options: CGM, HPGL, SCODL, and VideoShow.

If you use the DrawPerfect HPGL format, the colors in the graphic will be changed to other colors when the file is imported into PowerPoint. You can then use the Recolor Picture menu to alter these, if desired. PowerPoint cannot use the SCODL or VideoShow formatted graphics.

DrawPerfect is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product’s performance or reliability.
