Have you thought about saving them as PDF files?  Then you could display
them in a form easily enough.

Subject: [dba-VB] Show PowerPoint pictures in VS WinApp

Hi all

I have designed some drawings in PowerPoint as a kind of high level
"help pages" for a WinApp. The idea is that the user by pressing help or
a button can call up these slides. Just one by one, it is not a
slide-show.

But how to do that? It is not an automation job to control PowerPoint
which the user may not have installed. 
Would there be any other way than to export the slides to, say, png
files and then open a PictureBox with the png file?
It would be better to use a vector format as it is possible to resize
without quality loss but which format? And then another display control
should be used as the PictureBox can't show vector graphics as far as I
know.
