exporting fig files to PowerPoint presentation

Hello

I would like to know how to open a *.fig file from PowerPoint
presentaion. The objective is like, am having a presentation wherein
the slides have few matlab plots. The plots are caputred as fig files
and then for the sake of PowerPoint presentation, I convert them to
JPG and embed them in the slides.
I tried to use action settings in power point presentation, but am
getting an information message everytime I click on that figure.
Please let me know what is the easy and convinient way (if there is
any, Hopefully it should be there... ) to save the fig files in
PowerPoint presentation and open them during the course of
presentation, do some zooming and stuff and return back to
presentation upon closing the fig files.
This query amay look trivial, but I need it since my current task
requires me to do more of presenting the results.

Thanks.

In powerpoint 2007 I pop the image in the slide, right click on it and select hyperlink, then set the link to the .fig file I want to open. This worked for me, albeit with a couple of warnings.

Hi,
I too tried the same. But the thing is I have nearly 200 fig files to
be put in a presentation. I dont want to do this settings change one
by one. Is there anyway to automate this. (I cant write a macro
directly, since the figs are not to be put in every slide and not
every slide will have only one fig file.)

As well I dont want to get this warning information popped up. (As it
requires me to click ok every time i go thro the fig file.) I dont
want to reduce the security settings to low for the powerpoint as
well.

Regards
