I'm sorry if this has been answered, but I can't seem to find it. I have vista 32 and am running office 2007. I have created all my pages in pp and saved them as jpegs. When I put them into my photobook they have the red line around them and I don't know what I need to do to have them come out clear. All of my pictures have come off my 8megapixle camera and straight into the powerpoint. I do not know anything about picture sizes or what size my powerpoint jpgs are. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

If you go into Windows explorer and hover the cursor over your PP-created JPG you should get a pop-up showing dimensions of the jpg, like 960 x 720, or 3072 x 2311 (I think both of these are actual examples of jpgs I created from PP2003).

If you look at the MyPublisher help, you'll find they require 2040x1530 pixels (for Classic hardcover). If your PP-created JPG is smaller than 2040x1530, you'll get the red line. I was able to get PP to create larger dimensions by
1) increasing with the DPI output of PP which involves setting a registry value - not sure if that works in PP2007,
2) doubling or tripling the page size to be larger than 11x8.5 (like 33x25.5).
Be sure to read some of the other recent threads on using PP jpgs. I made one book with PP and I'm happy "enough" with it, but for my next book I'm trying another software package. I think MyPublisher is capable of printing higher quality pix than what is displayed in my book, although most people I show my book to think I'm being highly critical. The PP JPGs I submitted to MyPublisher for printing were in the 3072 x 2311 range.
Hope this helps.
