Hi,

I have a PowerPoint 2007 presentation that contains a large number of RGB 
images.  The journal I'm sending the PowerPoint file to, says that I need to 
convert all the images to grayscale. Is there an easy way to change the 
images to grayscale?

I've tried Alt-A -> Design tab -> Colors -> Grayscale

but if I  save an image out to a graphics program it says that it's still 
not grayscale.
I could save each image out to a graphics program, change to grayscale and 
import it back in again, but that would be very laborious as there are alot 
of images.

Can you help?

Many thanks

You can do this with a macro
See "Make all pictures greyscale"
