title: export an image from Powerpoint
body: <p>I have a VBA script which needs to save embedded images from the selected powerpoint as .png files onto disk. I am able to save an entire slide, but that's not practical</p>
  
  <p>I have found a couple of VBA solutions which require creation of an embedded Excel chart (eg <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/18234074/1569675">this answer</a>), using clipboard to copy and paste the image there and then save the chart but it seems clumsy and I would prefer not to impact the users clipboard (though if that's what it's going to take, then I'll have to take that approach)</p>
