The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 2.x, 3.x, and 4.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

To copy a slide from PowerPoint into the Clipboard in a format that can be read by Paintbrush, do the following:

  Open the presentation containing the slide that you want to copy to Paintbrush.   Start a PowerPoint Slide Show. (From the File menu, choose Slide Show.)   Manually advance to the appropriate slide, and press ALT + PRINT SCREEN to copy the PowerPoint slide to the Clipboard.   From the Edit menu in Paintbrush, choose Paste to bring in the contents of the Clipboard. You may need to change the attributes in Paintbrush to the default values before pasting the information. NOTE: Before pasting the image into Paintbrush, you may want to choose Zoom Out from the View menu so that you can paste onto the entire Paintbrush page. 

PowerPoint normally copies information to the Clipboard in Windows metafile format, but Paintbrush needs to read a bitmapped file format from the Clipboard.
