SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft PowerPoint, you try to save a fill that is contained in an AutoShape, such as a picture fill, as its own picture. You do this by clicking Save as Picture on the Objects shortcut menu. When you do this, the AutoShape and the fill are saved together as a single picture file.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Save as Picture command on the Objects shortcut menu saves the object, not the fill. There is currently no way to save only the fill within an object as its own picture.
