SYMPTOMSIf you use a Windows Metafile (.wmf) as a texture, and then apply that texture to a slide background or to a PowerPoint drawing object, the texture appears very large on screen. When you print the slide, the texture prints at a more appropriate size. CAUSE
PowerPoint converts a vector-based graphic internally to a bitmap graphic.
To ensure that the graphic prints well, PowerPoint converts the
vector-based graphic to a 576 dots per inch (dpi) bitmap. For example,
PowerPoint converts a 1-inch x 1-inch vector-based graphic to a 576-pixel x
RESOLUTION
As a rule of thumb, a graphic makes a good texture if it measures from
approximately 150 pixels square to about 250 pixels square. If you have
a program that converts vector-based graphics to bitmap graphics, use it
to convert the vector-based graphic to a bitmap graphic containing less
than 250 pixels x 250 pixels. When you use that bitmap graphic as a
texture, it will appear in a more appropriate size on your screen.
