Select a photo in Powerpoint to use as your Desktop background
Q Is there a way to isolate a single photo from a Powerpoint slideshow? I have received a PPS file of some superb photos that scroll through from photo to photo automatically.
I would like to save one of the best images as a separate photo so I can
print it out and use it as my Desktop background. I can pause on the photo, but
if I right-click on it there is no option to save.

A Unlike Word and Excel, Powerpoint files default to opening from Windows Explorer as a slideshow, rather than opening for editing.
What you need to do is start Powerpoint and open the PPS file for editing. Then jump to the picture you want from the slide thumbnails and you will then be able to save the picture from a right-click.
