Not a problem, but a curiousity none of my IT people can explain:
I have an 18-slide PowerPoint deck that is 858K in size. I'm sending out a two-slide version of it which I've created by copying the original and deleting 16 of the slides. No other changes whatsoever. The resulting 2-page version is 864K in size, bigger than the 18-pager from which it came. Any explanation?

Hi Eric
Go to Tools Options Save tab and see if "enable fast saves" is ticked. Untick it and save again. See if that helps. Either way never turn it on again! -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Eric" wrote: Not a problem, but a curiousity none of my IT people can explain: I have an 18-slide PowerPoint deck that is 858K in size.

Smaller, but not by nearly as much as I'd expect. The resulting two-page file
is now 641K in size. All 18 pages of the original are fairly comparable graphics-wise.

It could be one image on a single slide that could be causing the problem. I
have run into presentations where the file is something like 10MB, and 8MB is just on one slide. Sometimes it's even an image that doesn't look like it should be that size! -- Linda Adams http://www.hackman-adams.com http://www.david-hedison.com "Eric" wrote: Not a problem, but a curiousity none of my IT people can explain: I have an 18-slide PowerPoint deck that is 858K in size.
