Powerpoint files

[CentralSigns]

I have never used powerpoint and I have a customer making files in powerpoint. Is it possible to create a 5' by 16 ' banner to size in powerpoint. I tried to explain that I need the file 75 dpi and built to size with the fonts converted to curves. If he is using powerpoint and it does all this, how do I explain it to him what I want in powerpoint talk.

actually, the best you can hope for is to have them lay it out to scale and any images are not to be downsampled or compressed when creating the PDF for you...

we just did 5.5x8.5 2 sided fliers from a powerpoint supplied file. while it wasnt perfect we were able to get it done with only minimum editing.

Definately frustrating to have a customer design for 1 and in an inferior program. He is trying to design a banner. Hope it works out as good as yours did Binki

.... those are paper sized filers..5 inches by 8 inches??... he's talking about a banner. and NO, you can't design a banner to size in powerpoint, and you cant outline fonts on there either, oh and you can't set the resolution either....

Thanks for that. I guess he is paying design time.
