RE: size of powerpoint files

hello Amanda hope you are well

now the best ways to reduce the size of your file the first one is from within PowerPoint if your file has many pictures within it, then the thing to do is click on one of your pictures on a slide, the picture toolbar should then appear. You will find a compress picture button which will allow you to compress the selected picture or all pictures which will help

If this doesn't help as much you could try adding this file to winzip by right clicking on the file and choosing add to winzip

Please let me know how you get on

Many thanks

Thanks again.

Powerpoint tip:

Preventing slide content change

If you have creating a presentation and someone else is delviering it, you may want to work the presentation so that the slide content cannot be changed.

To do this you can convert the slides into a PNG Portable Network Graphics Format (better than others -takes less memory up). Click on saVae as and change the save as type to PNG.
You will then be given the option to save the slide you are on, or all slides.

Create a new presentation and then Insert the saved PNG files into the new presentation. This way no one can change your slides, the way they were meant to be
