APPLIES TO

-



This article was previously published under Q168415



SYMPTOMS
If you click Cancel while attempting to save a PowerPoint 97 slide as a Portable Network Graphic (.png) image file, PowerPoint creates a .png file anyway. However, this file is not a valid Portable Network Graphic file and you cannot import or open this graphic in any program.

In contrast, if you click Cancel while attempting to save a PowerPoint 97 slide as a CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format (.gif) or Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg) file, PowerPoint does not leave a .gif or .jpg file on your drive.



CAUSE


RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, run Windows Explorer and delete the resulting .png file.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
