Presentation with the help of VBA ? For answers thanks in advance.

Yes, but it's an awful lot of work. There are commercial programs and addins
that'll do it for you or you can use PPT2002/2003's Compress feature to do the
job.

Thanks for your answer. I know the Compress feature of PPT, it is possible to
access it with VBA ? I want to have some button, so that the user can
directly use this feature.

The method isn't exposed to VBA.

Whether it's possible to execute it as you can e.g. toolbar buttons, I don't know.
