I have used the "Add Narration" feature in PowerPoint 2002 and chose to embed
the narration file. I no longer want the narration in the presentation --
how can I delete the narration files from the .ppt file? Deleting the
narration icons from the slides does not seem to make the file size smaller
(in fact, it increases it a little, strangely enough).

Ideas?

TIA,
Steve Vincent
 
Steve,
Go to Tools--> Options--> Save tab, and uncheck "Fast Saves". Now resave the
presentation under a new name. Did the file size shrink?

My guess is that you have deleted the narrations, but with Fast Saves on,
the file size is still growing. Fast saves saves the changes to the file
instead of resaving the file itself. Not really what you want. (In my
opinion)
