[Year 12 IPM] PowerPoint Compression

[Missen, Stephen J]

Hi Oliver
 
I had a 180Mb presentation reduced to 4 Mb by simply using the compression b=
uilt into Powerpoint itself.
This can be activated by right clicking on any photo on a slide in the prese=
ntation itself, then clicking the Compress button and selecting Apply to all=
 pictures in document. There are a couple of other options on this Compress=
 pictures window that I have not experimented with yet.
 
I suppose that one could prepare all images to be included first so that the=
y are suitably cropped, resized and with sensible dpi settings (say 100 dpi)=
 so that the problem of large Powerpoint files is tackled at its root cause.
 
Cheers

Came across the following product

http://pptshare.com/file_compressor/product-description.html

It enabled me to compress a 35 Mb PowerPoint into 1.3 without any
noticeable loss of quality

Does anyone know of other alternatives?
