Powerpoint - saving on a memory stick

A friend has been sent a Powerpoint presentation.

He has downloaded it to his PC (in My Documents)

He wants to put it on a memory stick to play on a photo frame his children bought him for XMAS.

I believe he has PP 2003.

Is there a easy way to convert PP files to jpeg?

    Yes, but apparently the default resolution is poor.

    If you follow this guide:

    you can increase the resolution, though of course the files will be bigger.

    Yes, - Do a Save as (straight to the stick) & choose the appropriate option from the drop down "Save as type" list. Follow the instructions from there

    Standard resolution is fine for a digital photo frame/TV.

    whats wrong with doing screen shots and if he does not like the borders, then use Mspaint?
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)

    There is no 'save as' option either on the complete file or individual pictures(screens) as far as I can see.

    It is in the File menu. Second down.

    Press esc if you are in a running presentation & the menu is top left of the screen

    Sorry I didn't realise you meant to first import the file into PowerPoint and then 'save as'
