emailing powerpoint

[ray]

I have tried to email a power point presentation to
several individuals. Some systems will receive the email
while others say it is too big or that it has been
checked for "spam" and sent back. These presentations
include 8-10 photographs with a couple of pages of text.
How can I get these to be more friendly with the
receipents?

There are a number of ways you can optimize those images.

PPT 2002 (and 2003, for that matter) has an image optimizer on the
picture toolbar. It's called "compress pictures."

TAJ's Graphics tutorial will walk you through right-sizing the images in
the first place. Since yoiu only have 8-10 photos, optimizing by hand
shouldn't take too long.

RnR Optimizer will do it with one click.

NX Powerlight is another commercial product. http://www.nxpowerlite.com/

There's a new tool called "PointLess" which should work as well.

I have made a power point presentation about 12 minutes long.

I've sent to several friends e some of them report that the presentation is
either to fast or
to slow.

How can I anchor the timeline so the presentation will run the same, in
diferent computers?

Unfortunately, you can't really. Timing isn't PPT's strong suit.

Using PPT 2002 or 2003 and making sure your recipients run the
presentation with the new PPT Viewer which supports these features will
probably be the closest you can get with PPT.
