    Where MS PowerPoint stores picture bullet points
    I have a PowerPoint presentation that someone else created and it uses a specific picture as the bullet point. I need to find the picture, the actual picture file, and have no idea where the folder is that PowerPoint stores these pictures.

    Does anyone know the default location for pictures used as bullet points?

    - Highlight the text box with the bullet point
    - On the Menu Bar, select FORMAT > Bullets and Numbering
    - Click on PICTURE button
    - The picture you want should be found in this list of available internal pictures
    - If not, IMPORT will bring in more specific pics. You friend may have imported the picture on his copy of PPT, so now it's available anytime on his computer, and in this ppt presentation that was originally created on his computer. His custom icon travels with the ppt.

    Yes, I know that part and I can in fact see the picture I want.

    What I am asking is where that picture file is stored so that I can export it to another program.

    Ugh! What an excellent question. I'll keep looking for the answer.

    Meanwhile, I wouldn't be stopped from using the graphic in another program though.

    Drop the bullet point icon onto a WHITE slide, set the screen size pretty close the size you will want in the other program and do a screen capture.

    Use your favorite image editor to crop out the pic from the screen capture and save it.

    The best quick image displayer/editor I've ever come across that is FREE and easy to use is IrfanView. Dumb name, awesome tool. Start to end, doing this would take me 30 seconds.

    1) Start IrfanView
    2) Click OPTIONS > CAPTURE
    3) START (IrfanView minimizes)
    4) Go to PPT slide you've prepared, press CTRL-11 to capture
    5) Irfanview reappears with captured page.
    6) Use mouse to draw a box around the icon
    7) Press Ctrl-Y to crop out just icon
    8) Save it

    An easy way is to export the PPT to html: you get all the images as files.

    In Office 2010 there is no Save as HTML anymore so you need a VBA trick:

    * open PPT
    * press Alt+F11
    * press ctrl+G and copy pase this line:

    ActivePresentation.SaveAs "c:\myfolder\test.html", ppSaveAsHTML, msoFalse

    (change your filename/folder)

    * press Enter and wait.
