I saved my presentation in normal html format and a couple slides genereated
500K xml files. Is this something embedded in my presenation or did
powerpoint generate it in the conversion.

If it's in my presentation, I'd like to see what it does and then probably
delete it.

Look at the other files in the folder it created; look for large images, sound
files and such. If any other files seem suspiciously large, let us know their
names.
 
I've already converted the large png & wmz files to jpgs so the only big
files remaining are the two xml files (slide0034.xml, 430K & slide0025.xml,
590K) & the oledata.mso (2,430K) file. There are about four other xml files
but they are small.

oledata.mso would contain any ... you're not gonna believe this but here goes
anyway ... Ole data from your presentation. ;-)

That'd be any charts/graphs or content you've copy pasted from certain other
apps. Unless you need them to stay live and editable in PPT, you can ungroup
them to knock the file sizes down.

Why the two slidexxxx.xml files are so large, I can't guess, at least not w/o
seeing them. What've you been FEEDING those things? ;-) What's on the
slides? Clip art or vector graphics of some sort? That might account for it.
 
Hi,

Along the liens of what Steve said...

It could be how the images were inserted. If you paste an image in out of
another program, including something like mspaint, it creates an ole
reference to the original program. That could result in a large oledata.mso.
Right click on images and see if you get a menu item for a program. Or
graphs, etc.

Please tell us your PowerPoint version,
whether you are using vba,
whether your dog has fleas, or
anything else relevant.
 
Interesting...
I right-clicked on several images and got a standard menu with options like
format object; save as picture, etc.
What's the best wat to determine if a particular image is increasing the
size of the oledata.mso file.
I'm using PPT 2003 and don't know if I have vba enabled.

thanks

Then they're probably regular inserted images rather than embedded OLE objects
but if you want to doublecheck, our free StarterSet addin has a tool that tells
you the type of each shape and gives you its coordinates.

Select a shape, poke the pig. ;-)

If it says it's a placeholder shape Ctrl+Drag to create a copy of the shape and
check that for a better reading.
