This article was previously published under Q182928



SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to save your PowerPoint presentation in any of the following formats listed in the Save As dialog box

Windows Bitmap (*.bmp, *.dib)

Targa (*.tga)

Tagged Image File Format (*.tif)

PC Paintbrush (*.pcx)

PowerPoint will fail to export the slides and you will receive the following error message:

PowerPoint was unable to export all slides.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because PowerPoint does not support these formats. The most common reason for this problem is that you installed Microsoft Picture It! 2.0 on the computer after you installed PowerPoint 97. When you install Microsoft Picture It!, all file formats that are available to Picture It! will also be available to PowerPoint (listed in the Save As Type list in the PowerPoint Save As dialog box).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
