Office 2003: I've created an image in a drawing canvas in Microsoft Word
that I want to save as an image file (JPEG, BMP, whatever) and then set as
the background image in a series of PowerPoint slides. I thought I
remembered an "Export ..." option that appeared when right-clicking the
border of the drawing canvas, with a subsequent dialogue to save the drawing
as a JPEG. But it isn't there. Ideas?

There's never been an Export command that I can remember. Graham Mayor explains
a workaround at http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm.

Here's another option that may work depending on suitability of the image:
Copy the image in Word
In PowerPoint go to the Design Tab > Background Styles - Fill
Select "Picture or Texture Fill"> Clipboard. You may have to adjust some of
the settings.
