Hi Oliver

 

I had a 180Mb presentation reduced to 4 Mb by simply using the
compression built into Powerpoint itself.

This can be activated by right clicking on any photo on a slide in the
presentation 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
they 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?
