[texpoint-users] "Generation of bitmap succeeded, but could not be imported"

[Igor Dotsenko]

Dear TexPoint users,

I have being using TexPoint for a while and only recently faced the 
following problem with "Make display". Each time I try to edit an 
existing TexDisplay, I get an error message: "The generation of the 
external bitmap succeeded, but could not be imported to PowerPoint. 
Please try to reduce the resolution or change the format." Of course, 
neither reducing the resolution nor changing the format help. The only 
way to overcome the problem that I could find is to create a new 
TexDisplay, which (for the same reason) cannot be further modified.

I read about the same problem with the same attempts to solve it in many 
posts during 2007-2009, like:

- "Problems with Texpoint installation" by d7q9k5g02 at sneakemail.com,

Although the problem seems to be known among texpoint-users, there is 
still no solution or reasonable comment given by the texpoint team. Or, 
maybe, I just could not find the right answer and someone has already 
found his way around this "feature"?


Best regards,
Igor
