Syntax 1

expression.Export(Path, FilterName, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight)

Syntax 2

expression.Export(FileName, FilterName, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a Presentation object (Syntax 1) or a Slide or SlideRange object (Syntax 2).

Path   Required String. The path of the folder where you want to save the exported slides. You can include a full path; if you don't do this, PowerPoint creates a subfolder in the current folder for the exported slides.

FileName   Required String. The name of the file to be exported and saved to disk. You can include a full path; if you don't, PowerPoint creates a file in the current folder.

FilterName   Required String. The graphics format in which you want to export slides. The specified graphics format must have an export filter registered in the Windows registry. You can specify either the registered extension or the registered filter name. PowerPoint will first search for a matching extension in the registry. If no extension that matches the specified string is found, PowerPoint will look for a filter name that matches.

ScaleWidth   Optional Long. The width in pixels of an exported slide.

ScaleHeight   Optional Long. The height in pixels of an exported slide.

Remarks

Exporting a presentation doesn't set the Saved property of a presentation to True.

PowerPoint uses the specified graphics filter to save each individual slide in the presentation. The names of the slides exported and saved to disk are determined by PowerPoint. They're typically saved as Slide1.WMF, Slide2.WMF, and so on (for example). The path of the saved files is specified in the Path argument.
