OK, this is the first time I've tried to create a slide show and to say the least it's been a frustrating experience. But, I have persevered - I think. Here are the facts
Powerpoint 9
Windows 9
Slide show is 45 slides. These were all pics (jpg) I had saved on the computer and simply inserted them in the order I wanted into the show. I have all the transitions and timings down just like I want.
I have inserted a song (after I have wrestled with this for over 3 weeks - a lot of the problem was understanding wmv vs. wma from media player) to play thru the entire show, and it opens properly as PPS and plays on its' own when opened
Total file size is 18,254 KB
My fear is due to the size I won't be able to email it to that special woman in my life and that is the whole purpose of creating the show. I am not a computer geek and I have attempted to read a lot of the posts about all this as well as hearing terms like compressing files, html, etc. etc. and quite frankly my eyes and brain get fuzzy trying to understand all this
My goal? To email this PPS to her (she has PP), and when she opens it (I'm thinking as an attachment to the email) that it works like it does on my computer
Is this file size abnormal? Too big? Too impractical to email? How do I reduce it? (I know, I've asked numerous questions here).
