I have a PPT file that is over 207,000,000 bytes!

It has quite a few pictures (slides), but no more that others that are about
2,000,000 in size.

I have no idea why it's that big.
Do you??
I need some ideas....

Thanks,
Doug

Make a copy of the file--no matter how long it takes.
Open it. Try this on at LEAST 10% of the pictures to see if it helps:

Cut.
Edit-Paste special-As a picture (JPG is best maybe)

Save the file.
Did it reduce in size? If so, either find a photo editing app that can save
the pictures to compressed (might try www.irfanview.com) files BEFORE
inserting them.

Oh! It could also be corrupt or quickly becoming corrupt. Open a new
presentation and Insert-Slides from File and choose your file.

Thanks Anne,
I'm using PP97.

Need some help.
When I open PP and specify File NEW, I then get a new window with a slide in
it.
I click Insert/Insert slides from File and nothing happens.
Should I be doing something else?

Doug

Can you OPEN this file, Doug?
Do you have a file upload capability so I could get your file?
See...I've got this cool little thing me and a coder developed:
http://www.theofficeexperts.com/store.htm#PPTProducts

I can run it on your file if I can just get it.

Can you send me say...SOME of the slides? Like 10MB or less (zipped!)?

I can get 10MB at least.

Are you saving for backward compatibility with PowerPoint 95? Turn off the "Fast
Save Option" which is known to bloat files.

It WAS on. I turned it off and saved the file again.
It was REALLY SLOW and it didn't seem to make any difference in the size.

Any other ideas?
