ExportBitmapResolution setting does not work

Powerpoint 2010:  I need to change the DPI of PNG files that I create from Powerpoint figures (using draw objects such as rectangles and arrows). Unlike most people needing to change the DPI, I need a lower resolution than the current 220 DPI. An IT person and I used Microsoft's instructionsfor resetting this in the Registry. It was saved, and when I reopen the registry it shows the new setting, 96 DPI. But my PNGs are still 220 DPI. Can anyone think of why this setting wouldn't take effect? I've rebooted and the usual steps.

    Your first post also showed up identified as "Office 365 Home, Personal, and University"  so either your PPT 2010 was wrong or this was. 

    PowerPoint *can* do this, but if you've got another way of doing it and don't want to answer any questions that might help us help you, that's your call.  Glad you've got a way of getting the job done.

    I don't know what I wrote that indicated Office365, but my first post began with the phrase "Powerpoint 2010".

    After responses here and another forum I decided Powerpoint  can't really do this, and I'm copying my figures into Visio. It's pretty compatible and it's good for file types in "save as".
