At least starting with PowerPoint 95 (version 7.0) and 97 (version 8.0),
it does indeed support .GIF and .JPeG images. This is part of
Microsoft's committment (no comments here please) to the Web. With both
versions you can also export PowerPoint slides as interactive
(plugin/activex/helper required) or static web pages.

Hope this helps...
