I need to know if PowerPoint slide presentations have a slide limit.

The length of a presentation is limited most by your system resources (or
your audiences patience). When either starts complaining, you have too many
slides!

There is also the issue of file size vs. likelihood of corruption. If the
entire companies slides are kept in a single 50 GB file, you better have a
lot of back-ups. Larger files are more likely to become corrupted, so
several smaller ones may be a better option than a single large one.
Why do you ask?

Thank you for your repsponse. The reason I am asking is that one of our
departments wants to use a different presentation package. A couple of years
ago they attempted to create a PowerPoint for a banquet - where the photos
would simply scroll. They could not get the presentation to work with 200
photos. I am trying to eliminate the need to support additional 3rd party
packages that are really not needed.

200 pictures/slides is no problem for almost all current machines. However,
if each pictures is kept at full resolution (5 MB or so) that makes for a
very large presentation. I would suggest that the images be optimized after
being inserted. The optimization removes the un-show-able details from the
images and keeps the size of the presentation reasonable.
Just as an example. A decent digital camera will capture an image at 3000
pixels by 2000 pixels or better. However, most projectors can only display
at 1024 by 768. Therefore only about 15% of the pixels are actually useful
to the presentation projection. Optimization removes the excess detail and
keeps the presentation size manageable.
