how to reduce the size of my PPT file

[yammy]

Hi, I creat a PowerPoint Presentation and want to email it to my
friends.

Is that possible to reduce the size of my PPt file to about within 10M?
Now it's about 150M, too big to my inbox.

To compress a file or folder on a NTFS drive:

1. Open My Computer.
2. Double-click a drive or folder.
3. Right-click the file or folder you want to compress, and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, click Advanced.
5. Select the Compress contents to save disk space check box, and then click OK.
6. In the Properties dialog box, click OK.
7. In Confirm Attribute Changes, select the option you want.

Use jpg images instead of whatever format you are using.

Maybe you can convert it to pdf file.
After that, the size is nearly to 1.5MB.

Whoops, didn't read the post again didja?!

Compressing to NTFS will not affect the file's
size when emailing.

He needs to ZIP it, and if it's still too big
(which it will probably be) then chop it up
into pieces.

Compress the file (.zip)

However, the compression rate that you expect, can't be achieved for a PPT
file.

LOL! Another fine example of Carey's "quality" technical advice.

Typical of the clown.

And piss off his friends.

Is that possible to reduce the size of my PPt file to about within
10M? Now it's about 150M, too big to my inbox.

Go to YOUSENDIT.COM with your browser. Using that you can post a file as
large as 1 GB. You add the email address of your friend(s) and a message if
you wish. Yousendit sends an email to them with a link that, when clicked,
takes them to yousendit.com to download the attachment.

I am guessing here, but PPT files become large when using large graphics
files and scaling them down to presentation size within PowerPoint where
the original file size is carried with the PPT file. If you have
embedded jpg files, you can scale the original files down to the
presentation size external to PowerPoint and re-embed the scaled
graphics. This will result in a far smaller PPT file with no loss in
presentation quality. The free irfanview (Google) is excellent for this
kind of jpg scaling.
