Using IZArc to zip a ppt File

[wolf_tracks]

I've unzipped lots of files with IZArc, but never zipped one. I get two
choices when I try. Add xxx to Archive File or Add to xxx.zip. In two cases
I tried, I barely got any shrinkage. A 12M file to 11.8 zipped.

I'm assuming your trying to compress a powerpoint file ?

If so see
http://www.izarc.org/tutorials.html


But maybe your 1st point of call should be
Why are my PowerPoint files so big? What can I do about it?

Correct assumption.

As I was considering applying Bill's add-ins, I thought maybe I could save
myself some effort, but just compressing the file. Surprise! Not really.

I've installed Dilworth's add-on, but haven't put it to use yet. I suspect
things will go better after I've followed the FAQ. I'm using 2003.
