Saving a vector .AI which color can be edited in PowerPoint 2013

[barbarabelai]

Hi, guys.

I'm sorry to create a new topic, but I read all your answers and they didn't help me

So, what I need is to learn how to save a vector .AI which color can be edited in Powerpoint 2013.

I've tried several ways, but none's worked yet.

I know that somehow it works, because I found a Powerpoint presentation, that has some pictures and images which can be recolored in PowerPoint just by changing it.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks

Save it as an EPS, then you can import it and recolor it in PowerPoint.

Thanks for your help, but it didn't work

Which system?

[barbarabelai]

Windows

[Monika Gause]

In that case you can save an EMF

I also did it, but when I try to colour the object, it colours the whole object. That's the issue.

I created a transparent square with a black edge. What I want to do is to open this square in PowerPoint and recolour the edge.

But when I try to do it, it colours the whole square, not the edge.

Thank you so much for your help

You might need to ask some PowerPoint experts on how to edit graphics.

Ok, thanks for your help.

If what you want to change is the stroke, then in Illustrator select your object, got to Object > Path > Outline Stroke. Then save that as an EPS. It turns it into an object which is what PowerPoint will let you recolor.
