WMA file & PwtPt Phot Album Size

[Guest]

Two separate unrelated questions:
1. I created a Pwr Pt 2003 Photo Album. It was 32MB in size with 274
slides. I then deleted 100 slides, and the size is still 32MB. There are no
hidden slides. How do I reduce the document size as it is messing up my
memory.

2. I have a sound object of extension .wma. I put this pwt document with
tyhe wma file in a folder and then made this a subfolder about 4 levels down.
The sound does not work withn the pwr pt document. I then move the document
to my desktop and it works fine. Are there folder properties, subfolder
levels, or something else I am missing as to why i cannot get it to work from
the bowels of my computer?

Try turning off fast saves off and save it again to see if the file size
reduce. Sometimes, it is probably due to the graphics that increase the size.
To turn fast saves off,
Go to Tools > Option. Under Save tab, uncheck Allow fast saves.

You can also consider using RnR PPTools Optimizer

If you are linking your sound, the path should not be more than 128
characters. Hence, it is always recommended to put the sound and presentation
on the same folder, or you can embed the sound file by converting it to a wav
format.

email a presentation"
