Improving SAS Enterprise Graphs on Powerpoint

[frupaul]

Hi,

I am concerned about the quality of SAS graphs when pasted in MS powerpoint.

I am building a powerpoint report and have produced my graphs in SAS enterprise guide. However, when I copy and past the SAS graphs on PowerPoint, they seem to be blurred and low quality. Is there anything I can do to make the quality of SAS graphs pasted in PowerPoint to be similar to the original graphs generated in SAS?

Thanks

Create graphs in an SVG format to help maintain quality. 

Use SG procedures instead of SAS/Graph procedures. 

If you have SAS 9.4+ there is ODS PPTX that allows you to create graphs directly into PowerPoint. 

Specify your graph size and DPI to avoid rescaling picture between copy and paste.

Thanks Reeza,

I have just changed the format in the SAS Enterprise Guide task bar to a powerpoint format and the quality of the plots have been maintained on powerpoint
