Send to powerpoint function
My most frequent use case of balsamiq involves copying an individual mockup in Balsamiq and pasting it into a powerpoint deck to share and/or walk through w/ my stakeholders. (Or exporting png -> importing into powerpoint.)
SnagIt version 8 has a nicely implemented "Send screencapture to powerpoint" feature that saves me lots of time when I'm putting together similar demos.
How about adding a "Send to powerpoint" feature to Balsamiq that would send the current mockup (or just the selected elements, if any are selected) directly to the top-most presentation currently open in powerpoint.
For bonus points, you could have a "Send all mockups to powerpoint" that would send PNGs of all the open Mockup files to a powerpoint presentation, one to each page, in the order that the mockups appear in the dock (nice if that were sortable too).
This feature might not be so necessary when the linking mockups feature is in place, but I'll still need to send ahead "preview" copies for reviewers to look at (and no, we don't all have a wiki for that, though it would be great).

Inappropriate?Hi Mark, how about CTRL+SHIFT+C? It's a shortcut for the "Export to Clipboard" function in the Mockups menu. Just CTRL+SHIFT+C, switch to PPT and Paste (or "Paste Special", depending on how finniky PPT is feeling).
I’m hoping that does it!

Hi Peldi,
that's how i'm creating my PPTs now (just discovered Paste Special), but it's no where near as useful/elegant as SnagIt 8's "Send to PowerPoint." That's just a joy to use.
Not a deal breaker by any means, but very nice to have.
