Issue: Export of Powerpoint slides only default to 960 x 720, how do I export to a higher resolution?

NOTE: This requires editing of the Windows registry; if you have no experience you should allow someone who knows how to do this to perform this operation.

12.0 – Office 2007, 14.0 – Office 2010, and 15.0 – Office 2013

Add DWORD with the Name of: ExportBitmapResolution

Change the Base to Decimal and change the value to what you want to export it to (look below for the value and the corresponding resolutions.
