How do I send a presentation in an email?

[nursedonnamae]

How do I send a presentation as an attachment to an email? It is a large
file but in the help in Outlook, it says it can send it by breaking it up and
putting it back together etc. I found instructions in Outlook that says to
change something in accounts under tools, but there is no such animal. This
is a photo album type of presentation. I have received and opened plenty of
pps and why am I having such a problem?

Under Tools Accounts, select mail, then your mail account, select Properties and Advanced, and it is half way down the page.

Okay, are you talking about in Outlook? I open Outlook and on the menu bar
is tools and under tools, there is no accouts. I do not see a tools accounts
anywhere.

My error, I was referring to Outlook Express. You might want to ask the same question in the Outlook NG.

Thank you for answering. Do you have any other suggestions? I found Outlook
express, opened it, found the accounts, properties and advanced but no check
box for breaking down large messages to send. I am trying to send a large
message in powerpoint presentation. What is Outlook NG?

 

[Michael Koerner]

This is the PowerPoint NG (newsgroup) You need to ask the same question in the Outlook newsgroup. I can guarantee the reduce size box is available in OutLook Express.

Under Tools Accounts, select mail, then your mail account, select Properties and Advanced, and it is half way down the page you will see Sending, with an empty check box, which when checked will allow you to put in a value you set to break up your messages i.e. 500kb as an example

I did a Google search, and the following came up http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287766 Looks like Outlook took that feature out in version 2002

I am trying to send this powerpoint presentation. I really don't care how I
send it. It is a photo album. It is very large, but I have received
powerpoint presentations that are very large in my email. They have over 30
slides plus music plus transitions. The link is only 1.89 mb in my inbox.
It is much larger when I open it. Do I have to do something to this
presentation to prepare it for an attachment? Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

How large is the presentation you want to send?

2 MB is usually not too large for most any e-mail provider. Who is your
provider? Maybe your mailbox, or the mailbox of the recipient, needs to be
cleaned out. (By the way, M is mega in computer terms, b is bit and B is
byte. So it's about 2 megabytes or 2 MB.) And I would exit PowerPoint before
sending.

And how does it get larger when you open it? If you see 2 MB as an attachment
that should be very close to what you see on the disk.

In my inbox, the size of the message says 1.89 mb (megabytes). As I click on
the link and open it it presents a box that allows me to open, save or cancel
the link. As I click on the open to view the powerpoint presentation it says
it is opening a 6 or 7 (or whatever) mb file. I had received a presentation
recently that was just that and it had almost 50 pictures and music and
transitions (should have been much larger than 6 or 7 mg actually). The
presentation I have done has about 60 pictures in it, has no music and a
single transition. Is it supposed to be set up as a web page, or formatted
differently? I have taken some computer classes, and a powerpoint
presentation class and we covered a lot of stuff, but not sending the
powerpoint presentation to an email address unless as a webpage. My hotmail
address allows me to send up to 10 mb (but the larger files take forever to
upload).

A 1.89mb file is not a large file should only take a few seconds with a high-speed connection. Just attach your file to your email and click on send. If your looking to publish to a web page, then that is altogether another ballgame.

I rarely open files directly in an e-mail -- I almost always save it manually
somewhere first. But I really don't know why the size during opening is
different than you see in the message.

The number of pictures of course has a bearing on size, but also the
resolution. A low-rez picture scaled up in size will result in a smaller file
than a high-rez at native size.

I have taken some computer classes, and a powerpoint presentation class
and we covered a lot of stuff, but not sending the powerpoint presentation
to an email address unless as a webpage. My hotmail address allows me to
send up to 10 mb (but the larger files take forever to upload).

Sending as a web page (or pages) is quite different than sending the file
alone. Like Michael said, just attach and send.
