Default Resolution of EMF images

Hello,

I am trying to figure out an issue I have with the resolution of EMF images
generated with Save As EMF option. I noticed that when different users save
the same PowerPoint slide in EMF format the resulting files has different
resolutions. For instance User #1 would have ~300 DPI and User #2 would have
~4000 DPI. Additionally I noticed that recreating user profile would reset
the EMF resolution to ~300 DPI.
Does anyone know where these settings are set and if I can change them?

Thank You

EMF is vector format. Does it even *have* a "resolution"?

EMF is a vector format (although it can contain raster images). In short, it
has no DPI as such.

It may be that the program you're using to determine the DPI is giving you
misleading information. How are you finding the (alleged) DPI of the EMF
files?

Generate EMF file just by saving a PPT slide as EMF. Go to the properties of
the file click summary tab and go to advanced mode.

Default Resolution of EMF images

Digging through the local user registry I found following that the EMF
resolution is set by default printer. Basically one user had default printer
with 'Graphics print quality' set to 300 dpi the other one 4000 dpi. I did
verify that this indeed the case by setting print quality to different values
and producing different EMF file.

I still do not understand why this is so!!!

I thought that EMFs should be device independent.

Am I wrong thinking that?

Thank You
